Explicit Coleman Integration in Larger Characteristic

Number Theory 2019-02-13 v1 Algebraic Geometry

Abstract

We describe a more efficient algorithm to compute p-adic Coleman integrals on odd degree hyperelliptic curves for large primes p. The improvements come from using fast linear recurrence techniques when reducing differentials in Monsky-Washnitzer cohomology, a technique introduced by Harvey arXiv:math/0610973 when computing zeta functions. The complexity of our algorithm is quasilinear in p\sqrt p and is polynomial in the genus and precision. We provide timings comparing our implementation with existing approaches.
