Description

  • Speaker

    Alan Lauder - Oxford University

I will describe an algorithm for computing the zeta function of an arbitrary hyperelliptic curve in characteristic 2. This is a generalisation of an earlier method of myself and Wan, which tackled a restricted class of curves. The algorithm reduces the problem to that of computing the L-function of an additive character sum over an open subset of the projective line. This latter task can be achieved using the Dwork-Reich trace formula, Dwork's analytic construction of an additive character, and a method for `cohomological reduction' similar to the `Hermite reduction' algorithm used in the symbolic integration of rational functions. The talk is based upon joint work with Daqing Wan. See http://web.comlab.ox.ac.uk/oucl/work/alan.lauder/ for a version of the earlier paper, which has now appeared in LMS JCM, and also two other related papers.

    Speaker : Henry Bambury - DGA-MI et Inria Rennes

    We give a strict generalisation of the LLL algorithm over number fields, based on the reduction theory of  $GL(n)$ over the adele ring of a number field. Our algorithm is free of heuristics, with rigorous bounds on output quality and complexity.   -- based on joint work with Seungki Kim, Changmin Lee and Phong Nguyen --
