关于辫群的循环运算
On the cycling operation in braid groups
摘要:
循环运算是一种特殊的共轭运算,可以应用于Artin辫群中的元素,以减少它们的长度。它是辫群中共轭问题的常用解的一个关键成分。在他们关于辫子密码学的开创性论文中,Ko,Lee等人提出了{\it循环问题}作为辫群中的一个难题,这可能对密码学很有意义。在本文中,我们给出了一个多项式的解决方案,主要是通过显示,循环是满射,并使用结果Maffre这表明,在循环下的前像可以快速计算。这一结果也适用于每一个球型的Artin-Tits群。另一方面,辫群中的共轭搜索问题通常是利用辫群的左正规形,通过计算一些称为(左)超顶点集(左USS)的有限集来解决的。但我们同样可以使用右范式和计算右USS。共轭搜索问题的硬实例对应于具有大(左和右)USS的元素。人们可能会认为,即使某个元素有一个大的左USS,它也可能有一个小的右USS。我们表明,这是不是这种情况下,在重要的特殊情况下,刚性辫子。更确切地说,我们表明,左USS和右USS的一个给定的刚性辫子确定同构图,箭头颠倒,同构被定义使用迭代循环。我们猜想,同样是真实的每一个元素,不一定刚性,在辫群和Artin-Tits集团的球形类型。
英文摘要:
The cycling operation is a special kind of conjugation that can be applied to elements in Artin's braid groups, in order to reduce their length. It is a key ingredient of the usual solutions to the conjugacy problem in braid groups. In their seminal paper on braid-cryptography, Ko, Lee et al. proposed the {\it cycling problem} as a hard problem in braid groups that could be interesting for cryptography. In this paper we give a polynomial solution to that problem, mainly by showing that cycling is surjective, and using a result by Maffre which shows that pre-images under cycling can be computed fast. This result also holds in every Artin-Tits group of spherical type. On the other hand, the conjugacy search problem in braid groups is usually solved by computing some finite sets called (left) ultra summit sets (left-USS), using left normal forms of braids. But one can equally use right normal forms and compute right-USS's. Hard instances of the conjugacy search problem correspond to elements having big (left and right) USS's. One may think that even if some element has a big left-USS, it could possibly have a small right-USS. We show that this is not the case in the important particular case of rigid braids. More precisely, we show that the left-USS and the right-USS of a given rigid braid determine isomorphic graphs, with the arrows reversed, the isomorphism being defined using iterated cycling. We conjecture that the same is true for every element, not necessarily rigid, in braid groups and Artin-Tits groups of spherical type.
