Fast Digital Convolutions using Bit-Shifts
An exact, one-to-one transform is presented that not only allows digital
circular convolutions, but is free from multiplications and quantisation errors
for transform lengths of arbitrary powers of two. The transform is analogous to
the Discrete Fourier Transform, with the canonical harmonics replaced by a set
of cyclic integers computed using only bit-shifts and additions modulo a prime
number. The prime number may be selected to occupy contemporary word sizes or
to be very large for cryptographic or data hiding applications. The transform
is an extension of the Rader Transforms via Carmichael's Theorem. These
properties allow for exact convolutions that are impervious to numerical
overflow and to utilise Fast Fourier Transform algorithms.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figures, submitted to IEEE Signal Processing Letter
Fast integer multiplication using generalized Fermat primes
For almost 35 years, Sch{\"o}nhage-Strassen's algorithm has been the fastest
algorithm known for multiplying integers, with a time complexity O(n
log n log log n) for multiplying n-bit inputs. In 2007, F{\"u}rer
proved that there exists K > 1 and an algorithm performing this operation in
O(n log n K log n). Recent work by Harvey, van der Hoeven,
and Lecerf showed that this complexity estimate can be improved in order to get
K = 8, and conjecturally K = 4. Using an alternative algorithm, which relies on
arithmetic modulo generalized Fermat primes, we obtain conjecturally the same
result K = 4 via a careful complexity analysis in the deterministic multitape

Toroidalization of generating sequences in dimension two function fields of positive characteristic
We give a characteristic free proof of the main result of our previous paper
(math.AC/0509697) concerning toroidalization of generating sequences of
valuations in dimension two function fields. We show that when an extension of
two dimensional algebraic regular local rings satisfies the
conclusions of the Strong Monomialization theorem of Cutkosky and Piltant, the
map between generating sequences in and has a toroidal structure
