Improved Complexity Bounds for Counting Points on Hyperelliptic Curves
We present a probabilistic Las Vegas algorithm for computing the local zeta
function of a hyperelliptic curve of genus defined over . It
is based on the approaches by Schoof and Pila combined with a modeling of the
-torsion by structured polynomial systems. Our main result improves on
previously known complexity bounds by showing that there exists a constant
such that, for any fixed , this algorithm has expected time and space
complexity as grows and the characteristic is large
enough.Comment: To appear in Foundations of Computational Mathematic
The Isomorphism Relation Between Tree-Automatic Structures
An -tree-automatic structure is a relational structure whose domain
and relations are accepted by Muller or Rabin tree automata. We investigate in
this paper the isomorphism problem for -tree-automatic structures. We
prove first that the isomorphism relation for -tree-automatic boolean
algebras (respectively, partial orders, rings, commutative rings, non
commutative rings, non commutative groups, nilpotent groups of class n >1) is
not determined by the axiomatic system ZFC. Then we prove that the isomorphism
problem for -tree-automatic boolean algebras (respectively, partial
orders, rings, commutative rings, non commutative rings, non commutative
groups, nilpotent groups of class n >1) is neither a -set nor a
-set
