Factoring Polynomials over Finite Fields with Linear Galois Groups: An Additive Combinatorics Approach
英文摘要：
Let $\tilde{f}(X)\in\mathbb{Z}[X]$ be a degree-$n$ polynomial such that $f(X):=\tilde{f}(X)\bmod p$ factorizes into $n$ distinct linear factors over $\mathbb{F}_p$. We study the problem of deterministically factoring $f(X)$ over $\mathbb{F}_p$ given $\tilde{f}(X)$. Under the generalized Riemann hypothesis (GRH), we give an improved deterministic algorithm that computes the complete factorization of $f(X)$ in the case that the Galois group of $\tilde{f}(X)$ is (permutation isomorphic to) a linear group $G\leq \mathrm{GL}(V)$ on the set $S$ of roots of $\tilde{f}(X)$, where $V$ is a finite-dimensional vector space over a finite field $\mathbb{F}$ and $S$ is identified with a subset of $V$. In particular, when $|S|=|V|^{Ω(1)}$, the algorithm runs in time polynomial in $n^{\log n/(\log\log\log\log n)^{1/3}}$ and the size of the input, improving Evdokimov's algorithm. Our result also applies to a general Galois group $G$ when combined with a recent algorithm of the author. To prove our main result, we introduce a family of objects called linear $m$-schemes and reduce the problem of factoring $f(X)$ to a combinatorial problem about these objects. We then apply techniques from additive combinatorics to obtain an improved bound. Our techniques may be of independent interest.
