Let $p>1$ be a large prime number, let $q=O(\log\log p)$ and let $1\leq a<q$ be a pair of relatively prime integers. It is proved that there is a prime primitive root $u\ll (\log p)(\log \log p)^5$ such that $u\equiv a\bmod q$ in the prime…

In recent work, Darmon, Pozzi and Vonk explicitly construct a modular form whose spectral coefficients are $p$-adic logarithms of Gross-Stark units and Stark-Heegner points. Here we describe how this construction gives rise to a practical…

The discrete logarithm problem in Jacobians of curves of high genus $g$ over finite fields $\FF_q$ is known to be computable with subexponential complexity $L_{q^g}(1/2, O(1))$. We present an algorithm for a family of plane curves whose…

For $q$ a prime power, the discrete logarithm problem (DLP) in $\mathbb{F}_{q}$ consists in finding, for any $g \in \mathbb{F}_{q}^{\times}$ and $h \in \langle g \rangle$, an integer $x$ such that $g^x = h$. We present an algorithm for…

A suggestion is put forward regarding a partial proof of FLT(case1), which is elegant and simple enough to have caused Fermat's enthusiastic remark in the margin of his Bachet edition of Diophantus' "Arithmetica". It is based on an…

Multiplicative order of an element $a$ of group $G$ is the least positive integer $n$ such that $a^n=e$, where $e$ is the identity element of $G$. If the order of an element is equal to $|G|$, it is called generator or primitive root. This…

Let $p>3$ be a prime, and let $m$ be an integer with $p\nmid m$. In the paper we prove some supercongruences concerning $$\align &\sum_{k=0}^{p-1}\frac{\binom{2k}k\binom{3k}k}{54^k},\…

We improve the "sieve" part of the number field sieve used in factoring integer and computing discrete logarithm. The runtime of our method is shorter than that of existing methods. Under some reasonable assumptions, we prove that it is…

We give an $O(N\cdot \log N\cdot 2^{O(\log^*N)})$ algorithm for multiplying two $N$-bit integers that improves the $O(N\cdot \log N\cdot \log\log N)$ algorithm by Sch\"{o}nhage-Strassen. Both these algorithms use modular arithmetic.…

For a fixed $k$, this study considers $k$-partition minimization of submodular system $(V, f)$ with a finite set $V$ and symmetric submodular function $f: 2^{V} \mapsto \mathbb{R}$. Our algorithm uses the Queyranne's (1998) algorithm for…

We show how the quantum fast Fourier transform (QFFT) can be made exact for arbitrary orders (first for large primes). For most quantum algorithms only the quantum Fourier transform of order $2^n$ is needed, and this can be done exactly.…

We investigate solutions to the functional equation $f(f(x)) = e^x$, which can be interpreted as the problem of finding a half iterate of the exponential map. While no elementary solution exists, we construct and analyze non-elementary…

In submodular $k$-partition, the input is a non-negative submodular function $f$ defined over a finite ground set $V$ (given by an evaluation oracle) along with a positive integer $k$ and the goal is to find a partition of the ground set…

Recently, Ko\c{c} proposed a neat and efficient algorithm for computing \[ x = a^{-1} \pmod {p^k} \] for a prime $p$ based on the exact solution of linear equations using $p$-adic expansions. The algorithm requires only addition and right…

We propose an efficient algorithm to compute the real roots of a sparse polynomial $f\in\mathbb{R}[x]$ having $k$ non-zero real-valued coefficients. It is assumed that arbitrarily good approximations of the non-zero coefficients are given…

It is well known that the repeated square and multiply algorithm is an efficient way of modular exponentiation. The obvious question to ask is if this algorithm has an inverse which would calculate the discrete logarithm efficiently. The…

We present a polynomial time exact quantum algorithm for the hidden subgroup problem in $Z_{m^k}^n$. The algorithm uses the quantum Fourier transform modulo m and does not require factorization of m. For smooth m, i.e., when the prime…

We perform a special number field sieve discrete logarithm computation in a 1024-bit prime field. To our knowledge, this is the first kilobit-sized discrete logarithm computation ever reported for prime fields. This computation took a…

After recalling the notion of higher roots (or hyper-roots) associated with "quantum modules" of type $(G, k)$, for $G$ a semi-simple Lie group and $k$ a positive integer, following the definition given by A. Ocneanu in 2000, we study the…

We define {\bf primitive derivations} for Coxeter arrangements which may not be irreducible. Using those derivations, we introduce the {\bf primitive filtrations} of the module of invariant logarithmic differential forms for an arbitrary…
