Counting points on curves over families in polynomial time

Number Theory 2007-05-23 v1 Algebraic Geometry

Abstract

This note concerns the theoretical algorithmic problem of counting rational points on curves over finite fields. It explicates how the algorithmic scheme introduced by Schoof and generalized by the author yields an algorithm whose running time is uniformly polynomial time for curves in families.
