The article presents several methods for the arithmetic of finite abelian groups. We introduce a tool - already used by Delsarte in [1] as I found out later - analogous to Dirichlet's convolution to obtain combinatorial results on these…

The abelian Hidden Subgroup Problem (HSP) is extremely general, and many problems with known quantum exponential speed-up (such as integers factorisation, the discrete logarithm and Simon's problem) can be seen as specific instances of it.…

Bilevel optimization has been widely used in decision-making process. However, there still lacks an efficient algorithm to determine an optimal solution of a bilevel optimization problem, especially for a large-size problem. To bridge the…

Quantum compiling, a process that decomposes the quantum algorithm into a series of hardware-compatible commands or elementary gates, is of fundamental importance for quantum computing. We introduce an efficient algorithm based on deep…

The aim of this work is to reduce the complexity of the available algorithms for computing the generator sets of a semigroup ideal by using the Hermite normal form. In order to achieve it we introduce the concept of decomposable semigroup.…

We approach the hidden subgroup problem by performing the so-called pretty good measurement on hidden subgroup states. For various groups that can be expressed as the semidirect product of an abelian group and a cyclic group, we show that…

Consider the following generalized hidden shift problem: given a function f on {0,...,M-1} x Z_N satisfying f(b,x)=f(b+1,x+s) for b=0,1,...,M-2, find the unknown shift s in Z_N. For M=N, this problem is an instance of the abelian hidden…

While efficient algorithms are known for solving many important problems related to groups, no efficient algorithm is known for determining whether two arbitrary groups are isomorphic. The particular case of 2-nilpotent groups, a special…

We describe an algorithm for splitting permutation representations of finite group over fields of characteristic zero into irreducible components. The algorithm is based on the fact that the components of the invariant inner product in…

We construct an algorithm that reduces the complexity for computing generalized Dedekind sums from exponential to polynomial time. We do so by using an efficient word rewriting process in group theory.

The decomposition problem of the enveloping algebra of a simple Lie algebra is reconsidered combining both the analytical and the algebraic approach, showing its relation with the internal labelling problem with respect to a nilpotent…

Viewing Dehn's algorithm as a rewriting system, we generalise to allow an alphabet containing letters which do not necessarily represent group elements. This extends the class of groups for which the algorithm solves the word problem to…

We give an exposition of the hidden subgroup problem for dihedral groups from the point of view of the standard hidden subgroup quantum algorithm for finite groups. In particular, we recall the obstructions for strong Fourier sampling to…

This paper deals with the number of subgroups of a given exponent in a finite abelian group. Explicit formulas are obtained in the case of rank two and rank three abelian groups. An asymptotic formula is also presented.

We present a quantum algorithm for solving the hidden subgroup problem in the general linear group over a finite field where the hidden subgroup is promised to be a conjugate of the group of the invertible lower triangular matrices. The…

We give an effective procedure to explicitly find the decomposition of a polarized abelian variety into its simple factors if a period matrix is known. Since finding this datum is not easy, we also provide two methods to compute the period…

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 propose a method for solving the hidden subgroup problem in nilpotent groups. The main idea is iteratively transforming the hidden subgroup to its images in the quotient groups by the members of a central series, eventually to its image…
