Title
Algebraic Problems Equivalent to Beating Exponent 3/2 for Polynomial Factorization over Finite Fields.
Abstract
The fastest known algorithm for factoring univariate polynomials over finite fields is the Kedlaya-Umans (fast modular composition) implementation of the Kaltofen-Shoup algorithm. It is randomized and takes ~O(n^{3/2}*log(q)+n*log^2(q)) time to factor polynomials of degree n over the finite field F_q with q elements. A significant open problem is if the 3/2 exponent can be improved. We study a collection of algebraic problems and establish a web of reductions between them. A consequence is that an algorithm for any one of these problems with exponent better than 3/2 would yield an algorithm for polynomial factorization with exponent better than 3/2.
