let $a$ be an abelian topological group and $b$ a trivial topological $a$-module. in this paper we define the second bilinear cohomology with a trivial coefficient. we show that every abelian group can be embedded in a central extension of abelian groups with bilinear cocycle. also we show that in the category of locally compact abelian groups a central extension with a continuous section can b...

We explain a variant of the Fiat-Shamir identiication and signature protocol which is based on the intractability of computing generators of principal ideals in algebraic number elds. We also show how to use the Cohen-Lenstra-Martinet heuristics for class groups to construct number elds in which computing generators of principal ideals is intractable. 1. Introduction The security of public key ...

Attempts to separate the power of classical and quantum models of computation have a long history. The ultimate goal is to find exponential separations for computational problems. However, such separations do not come a dime a dozen: while there were some early successes in the form of hidden subgroup problems for abelian groups–which generalize Shor’s factoring algorithm perhaps most faithfull...

‎let $g$ be a group and $a=aut(g)$ be the group of automorphisms of‎ ‎$g$‎. ‎then the element $[g,alpha]=g^{-1}alpha(g)$ is an‎ ‎autocommutator of $gin g$ and $alphain a$‎. ‎also‎, ‎the‎ autocommutator subgroup of g is defined to be‎ ‎$k(g)=langle[g,alpha]|gin g‎, ‎alphain arangle$‎, ‎which is a‎ ‎characteristic subgroup of $g$ containing the derived subgroup‎ ‎$g'$ of $g$‎. ‎a group is defined...
