Prime Power Terms In Elliptic Divisibility Sequences

Valéry Aurélien Mahé

We study a problem on specializations of multiples of rational points on elliptic curves analogous to the Mersenne problem. We solve this problem when descent via isogeny is possible by giving explicit bounds on the indices of prime power terms in elliptic ...

Solving a $6120$-bit DLP on a Desktop Computer

Robert Granger, Jens Markus Zumbrägel

In this paper we show how some recent ideas regarding the discrete logarithm problem (DLP) in finite fields of small characteristic may be applied to compute logarithms in some very large fields extremely efficiently. By combining the polynomial time relat ...

Modular Functions and Special Cycles

Maryna Viazovska

In this thesis we study algebraic cycles on Shimura varieties of orthogonal type. Such varieties are a higher dimensional generalization of modular curves and their important feature is that they have natural families of algebraic cycles in all codimesions ...

Algebraic algorithms for network information flow

Javad Ebrahimi Boroojeni

Ahlswede et al. in the seminal paper [1] have shown that in data transfer over networks, processing the data at the nodes can significantly improve the throughput. As proved by Li et al. in [2], even with a simple type of operation, namely linear operation ...

Splitting fields of conics and sums of squares of rational functions

David Maximilian Grimm

Given a geometrically unirational variety over an infinite base field, we show that every finite separable extension of the base field that splits the variety is the residue field of a closed point. As an application, we obtain a characterization of functi ...

On the Function Field Sieve and the Impact of Higher Splitting Probabilities: Application to Discrete Logarithms in $\mathbb{F}_{2^{1971}}$ and $\mathbb{F}_{2^{3164}}$

Robert Granger, Jens Markus Zumbrägel

In this paper we propose a binary field variant of the Joux-Lercier medium-sized Function Field Sieve, which results not only in complexities as low as

L_{q^n}(1/3,(4/9)1/3)

for computing arbitrary logarithms, but also in an heuristic polynomial time alg ...

Generalised Mersenne Numbers Revisited

Robert Granger

Generalised Mersenne Numbers (GMNs) were defined by Solinas in 1999 and feature in the NIST (FIPS 186-2) and SECG standards for use in elliptic curve cryptography. Their form is such that modular reduction is extremely efficient, thus making them an attrac ...

On the Cryptanalysis of Public-Key Cryptography

Joppe Willem Bos

Nowadays, the most popular public-key cryptosystems are based on either the integer factorization or the discrete logarithm problem. The feasibility of solving these mathematical problems in practice is studied and techniques are presented to speed-up the ...

Some remarks on the two-variable main conjecture of Iwasawa theory for elliptic curves without complex multiplication

Jeanine Marie Van Order

We establish several results towards the two-variable main conjecture of Iwasawa theory for elliptic curves without complex multiplication over imaginary quadratic fields, namely (i) the existence of an appropriate p-adic L-function, building on works of H ...

Prym varieties of spectral covers

Tamás Hausel

Given a possibly reducible and non-reduced spectral cover pi: X -> C over a smooth projective complex curve C we determine the group of connected components of the Prym variety Prym(X/C). As an immediate application we show that the finite group of n-torsi ...
