On the Factorization of the Poincaré Polynomial: A Survey
2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 13P05, 14M15, 14M17, 14L30. Factorization is an important and very difficult problem in mathematics. Finding prime factors of a given positive integer n, or finding the roots of the polynomials in the complex plane are some of the important problems not only in algorithmic mathematics but also in cryptography.
