Description
Motivated by applications to computing zeta functions, we will discuss the log de Rham and de Rham cohomologies of smooth schemes (together with 'nice' divisors) over the Witt vectors. For the former, we will give an explicit description that eventually might lead to improvements to point counting algorithms. Regarding the latter, we will measure "how far" the de Rham cohomology of a curve is from being finitely generated in terms of the Hasse-Witt invariant of its special fibre.

Algorithms for post-quantum commutative group actions
Speaker : Marc Houben - Inria Bordeaux
At the historical foundation of isogeny-based cryptography lies a scheme known as CRS; a key exchange protocol based on class group actions on elliptic curves. Along with more efficient variants, such as CSIDH, this framework has emerged as a powerful building block for the construction of advanced post-quantum cryptographic primitives. Unfortunately, all protocols in this line of work are[…] -
Endomorphisms via Splittings
Speaker : Min-Yi Shen - No Affiliation
One of the fundamental hardness assumptions underlying isogeny-based cryptography is the problem of finding a non-trivial endomorphism of a given supersingular elliptic curve. In this talk, we show that the problem is related to the problem of finding a splitting of a principally polarised superspecial abelian surface. In particular, we provide formal security reductions and a proof-of-concept[…]-
