Dans cette note nous décrivons différentes méthodes utilisées en pratique pour calculer le nombre de classes d'un corps quadratique imaginaire ou réel ainsi que pour calculer le régulateur d'un corps quadratique réel. En particulier nous décrivons l'infrastructure de Shanks ainsi que la méthode sous-exponentielle de McCurley.
We improve the known upper bound of the dimension of an indecomposable unimodular lattice whose shadow has the third largest possible length, .
In this paper we show that well-known relationships connecting the Clifford algebra on negative euclidean space, Vahlen matrices, and Möbius transformations extend to connections with the Möbius loop or gyrogroup on the open unit ball in -dimensional euclidean space . One notable achievement is a compact, convenient formula for the Möbius loop operation , where the operations on the right are those arising from the Clifford algebra (a formula comparable to for the Möbius loop multiplication...
Assuming GRH, we present an algorithm which inputs a prime and outputs the set of fundamental discriminants such that the reduction map modulo a prime above from elliptic curves with CM by to supersingular elliptic curves in characteristic is surjective. In the algorithm we first determine an explicit constant so that implies that the map is necessarily surjective and then we compute explicitly the cases .
