Counting points on hyperelliptic curves with explicit real multiplication in arbitrary genus
We present a probabilistic Las Vegas algorithm for computing the local zeta
function of a genus- hyperelliptic curve defined over with
explicit real multiplication (RM) by an order in a degree-
totally real number field.
It is based on the approaches by Schoof and Pila in a more favorable case
where we can split the -torsion into kernels of endomorphisms, as
introduced by Gaudry, Kohel, and Smith in genus 2. To deal with these kernels
in any genus, we adapt a technique that the author, Gaudry, and Spaenlehauer
introduced to model the -torsion by structured polynomial systems.
Applying this technique to the kernels, the systems we obtain are much smaller
and so is the complexity of solving them.
Our main result is 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. We prove that
and we also conjecture that the result still holds for .Comment: To appear in Journal of Complexity. arXiv admin note: text overlap

Smart Nanostructures and Synthetic Quantum Systems
So far proposed quantum computers use fragile and environmentally sensitive
natural quantum systems. Here we explore the notion that synthetic quantum
systems suitable for quantum computation may be fabricated from smart
nanostructures using topological excitations of a neural-type network that can
mimic natural quantum systems. These developments are a technological
application of process physics which is a semantic information theory of
reality in which space and quantum phenomena are emergent.Comment: LaTex,14 pages 1 eps file. To be published in BioMEMS and Smart

Automatic Deduction in Dynamic Geometry using Sage
We present a symbolic tool that provides robust algebraic methods to handle
automatic deduction tasks for a dynamic geometry construction. The main
prototype has been developed as two different worksheets for the open source
computer algebra system Sage, corresponding to two different ways of coding a
geometric construction. In one worksheet, diagrams constructed with the open
source dynamic geometry system GeoGebra are accepted. In this worksheet,
Groebner bases are used to either compute the equation of a geometric locus in
the case of a locus construction or to determine the truth of a general
geometric statement included in the GeoGebra construction as a boolean
variable. In the second worksheet, locus constructions coded using the common
file format for dynamic geometry developed by the Intergeo project are accepted
for computation. The prototype and several examples are provided for testing.
Moreover, a third Sage worksheet is presented in which a novel algorithm to
eliminate extraneous parts in symbolically computed loci has been implemented.
The algorithm, based on a recent work on the Groebner cover of parametric
systems, identifies degenerate components and extraneous adherence points in
loci, both natural byproducts of general polynomial algebraic methods. Detailed
examples are discussed.Comment: In Proceedings THedu'11, arXiv:1202.453
Combining constructive and equational geometric constraint solving techniques
In the past few years, there has been a strong trend towards
developing parametric, computer aided design systems based on
geometric constraint solving. An efective way to capture the design
intent in these systems is to define relationships between geometric
and technological variables.
In general, geometric constraint solving including functional
relationships requires a general approach and appropiate techniques toachieve the expected functional capabilities.
This work reports on a hybrid method which combines two geometric
constraint solving techniques: Constructive and equational.
The hybrid solver has the capability of managing functional
relationships between dimension variables and variables representing
conditions external to the geometric problem.
The hybrid solver is described as a rewriting system and is shown to
be correct.Postprint (published version
On the determination of cusp points of 3-R\underline{P}R parallel manipulators
This paper investigates the cuspidal configurations of 3-RPR parallel
manipulators that may appear on their singular surfaces in the joint space.
Cusp points play an important role in the kinematic behavior of parallel
manipulators since they make possible a non-singular change of assembly mode.
In previous works, the cusp points were calculated in sections of the joint
space by solving a 24th-degree polynomial without any proof that this
polynomial was the only one that gives all solutions. The purpose of this study
is to propose a rigorous methodology to determine the cusp points of
3-R\underline{P}R manipulators and to certify that all cusp points are found.
This methodology uses the notion of discriminant varieties and resorts to
Gr\"obner bases for the solutions of systems of equations
Synthetic Quantum Systems
So far proposed quantum computers use fragile and environmentally sensitive
natural quantum systems. Here we explore the new notion that synthetic quantum
systems suitable for quantum computation may be fabricated from smart
nanostructures using topological excitations of a stochastic neural-type
network that can mimic natural quantum systems. These developments are a
technological application of process physics which is an information theory of
reality in which space and quantum phenomena are emergent, and so indicates the
deep origins of quantum phenomena. Analogous complex stochastic dynamical
systems have recently been proposed within neurobiology to deal with the
emergent complexity of biosystems, particularly the biodynamics of higher brain
function. The reasons for analogous discoveries in fundamental physics and
neurobiology are discussed.Comment: 16 pages, Latex, 1 eps figure fil
Quantum Information Dynamics and Open World Science
One of the fundamental insights of quantum mechanics is that complete knowledge of the state of a quantum system is not possible. Such incomplete knowledge of a physical system is the norm rather than the exception. This is becoming increasingly apparent as we apply scientific methods to increasingly complex situations. Empirically intensive disciplines in the biological, human, and geosciences all operate in situations where valid conclusions must be drawn, but deductive completeness is impossible. This paper argues that such situations are emerging examples of {it Open World} Science. In this paradigm, scientific models are known to be acting with incomplete information. Open World models acknowledge their incompleteness, and respond positively when new information becomes available. Many methods for creating Open World models have been explored analytically in quantitative disciplines such as statistics, and the increasingly mature area of machine learning. This paper examines the role of quantum theory and quantum logic in the underpinnings of Open World models, examining the importance of structural features of such as non-commutativity, degrees of similarity, induction, and the impact of observation. Quantum mechanics is not a problem around the edges of classical theory, but is rather a secure bridgehead in the world of science to come
