Fast algorithms for computing isogenies between elliptic curves

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

We survey algorithms for computing isogenies between elliptic curves defined over a field of characteristic either 0 or a large prime. We introduce a new algorithm that computes an isogeny of degree ℓ (ℓ different from the characteristic) in time quasi-linear with respect to ℓ. This is based in particular on fast algorithms for power series expansion of the Weierstrass ℘-function and related functions.
