Description
Consider the projective space P^n over a finite field F_q. A hypersurface is defined by one homogenous equation with coefficients in F_q. For d going to infinity, we show that the probability that a hypersurface of degree d is nonsingular approaches 1/\zeta_{P^n (n+1)}. This is analogous to the well-known fact that the probability that an integer is squarefree equals 1/\zeta(2) = 6/\pi^2. This is a special case of the results in Bjorn Poonen's paper ``Bertini Theorems over Finite Fields'', where he computes the probability that a given variety intersects a random hypersurface. Poonen uses the full power of algebraic geometry, whereas the special case can be proven using only elementary linear algebra and properties of finite fields.

Adelic reduction of module lattices
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 ---

Post-quantum day of the cryptography seminar
A scientific day devoted to post-quantum cryptography, held in the wake of the European Cyber Week, with talks more technical than those presented at the ECW.
