It was recognized in the mid-eighties, that several then current primality tests could be formulated in the language of Galois theory for rings. This made it possible to combine those tests for practical purposes. It turns out that the new polynomial time primality test due to Agrawal, Kayal, and Saxena can also be formulated in the Galois theory language. Whether the new formulation will allow the test to be combined with the older tests remains to be seen. It does lead to a primality test…

### On cyclotomic primality tests

In 1980, L. Adleman, C. Pomerance, and R. Rumely invented the first cyclotomic primality test, and shortly after, in 1981, a simplified and more efficient version was presented by H.W. Lenstra for

### Cyclotomy Primality Proofs and their Certificates

An overview of the theoretical background and implementation specifics of CPP, such as the authors understand them in the year 2007 is given.

### On the implementation of AKS-class primality tests

• Computer Science
• 2003
Algorithms of the new “cyclotomic AKS class” determine rigorously and in polynomial time whether an input integer is prime. Herein are discussed implementation issues, with a focus on techniques such

This set of three companion manuscripts/articles unveils new results on primality testing and reveal new primalityTesting algorithms enabled by those results and reveals close connections between the state-of-the-art Miller-Rabin method and the renowned Euler-Criterion.

### Dual Elliptic Primes and Applications to Cyclotomy Primality Proving

By extending to elliptic curves some notions of galois theory of rings used in the cyclotomy primality tests, one obtains a new algorithm which has heuristic cubic run time and generates certificates that can be verified in quadratic time.

From this analysis and observations, AKS algorithm is refined so that it runs in O(log n) time, based on the empirical results and statistics of certain parameters which control the asymptotic running time of the algorithm.

We deﬁne the concept of q-pseudoprime to base b, which extends the idea of strong pseudoprime to base b. We stablish a new test of primality that reﬁnes the Pocklinton’s Theorem using some properties

Abstract Let A ⊆[0;  l ] be a set of n integers, and let h ⩾2. By how much does | hA | exceed |( h −1)  A | ? How can one estimate | hA | in terms of n ,  l ? We give sharp lower bounds extending and

Irreducible polynomials in Fp[X] are used to carry out the arithmetic in field extension of Fp to solve the random polynomial time problem of finding irreducibles of any degree over Fp.

There is, I think, something ethereal about i —the square root of minus one, which seems an odd beast at that time—an intruder hovering on the edge of reality.
