Counting Roots of Polynomials Over Prime Power Rings

چکیده
Suppose $p$ is a prime, $t$ is a positive integer, and $f\!\in\!\mathbb{Z}[x]$ is a univariate polynomial of degree $d$ with coefficients of absolute value $<\!p^t$. We show that for any fixed $t$, we can compute the number of roots in $\mathbb{Z}/(p^t)$ of $f$ in deterministic time $(d+\log p)^{O(1)}$. This fixed parameter tractability appears to be new for $t\!\geq\!3$. A consequence for arithmetic geometry is that we can efficiently compute Igusa zeta functions $Z$, for univariate polynomials, assuming the degree of $Z$ is fixed.

Counting Roots of Polynomials over $\mathbb{Z}/p^2\mathbb{Z}$
Until recently, the only known method of finding the roots of polynomials over prime power rings, other than fields, was brute force. One reason for this is the lack of a division algorithm, obstructing the use of greatest common divisors. Fix a prime p ∈ Z and f ∈ (Z/pZ)[x] any nonzero polynomial of degree d whose coefficients are not all divisible by p. For the case n = 2, we prove a new effi...
متن کاملOn the evaluation of modular polynomials
We present two algorithms that, given a prime l and an elliptic curve E/Fq, directly compute the polynomial Φl(j(E), Y ) ∈ Fq[Y ] whose roots are the j-invariants of the elliptic curves that are l-isogenous to E. We do not assume that the modular polynomial Φl(X, Y ) is given. The algorithms may be adapted to handle other types of modular polynomials, and we consider applications to point count...
متن کاملCo-centralizing generalized derivations acting on multilinear polynomials in prime rings
Let $R$ be a noncommutative prime ring of characteristic different from $2$, $U$ the Utumi quotient ring of $R$, $C$ $(=Z(U))$ the extended centroid of $R$. Let $0neq ain R$ and $f(x_1,ldots,x_n)$ a multilinear polynomial over $C$ which is noncentral valued on $R$. Suppose that $G$ and $H$ are two nonzero generalized derivations of $R$ such that $a(H(f(x))f(x)-f(x)G(f(x)))in ...
متن کاملIterated constructions of irreducible polynomials over finite fields with linearly independent roots
The paper is devoted to constructive theory of synthesis of irreducible polynomials and irreducible N-polynomials (with linearly independent roots) over finite fields. For a suitably chosen initial N-polynomial F1ðxÞAF2s 1⁄2x of degree n; polynomials FkðxÞAF2s 1⁄2x of degrees 2 n are constructed by iteration of the transformation of variable x-x þ dx ; where dAF2s and da0: It is shown that the ...
متن کاملOn Hensel’s Roots and a Factorization Formula in Z[[x]]
Given an odd prime p, we provide formulas for the Hensel lifts of polynomial roots modulo p, and give an explicit factorization over the ring of formal power series with integer coe cients for certain reducible polynomials whose constant term is of the form pw with w > 1. All of our formulas are given in terms of partial Bell polynomials and rely on the inversion formula of Lagrange.
