On the discrete logarithm problem for plane curves

Claus Diem (2012)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

In this article the discrete logarithm problem in degree 0 class groups of curves over finite fields given by plane models is studied. It is proven that the discrete logarithm problem for non-hyperelliptic curves of genus 3 (given by plane models of degree 4) can be solved in an expected time of O ˜ ( q ) , where q is the cardinality of the ground field. Moreover, it is proven that for every fixed natural number d 4 the following holds: We consider the discrete logarithm problem for curves given by plane models...

On the p-rank of an abelian variety and its endomorphism algebra.

Josep González (1998)

Publicacions Matemàtiques

Let A be an abelian variety defined over a finite field. In this paper, we discuss the relationship between the p-rank of A, r(A), and its endomorphism algebra, End0(A). As is well known, End0(A) determines r(A) when A is an elliptic curve. We show that, under some conditions, the value of r(A) and the structure of End0(A) are related. For example, if the center of End0(A) is an abelian extension of Q, then A is ordinary if and only if End0(A) is a commutative field. Nevertheless, we give an example...
