Abstract

We study the isomorphism problem of two “natural” algebraic structures – $\mathbb{F}$-algebras and cubic forms. We prove that the $\mathbb{F}$-algebra isomorphism problem reduces in polynomial time to the cubic forms equivalence problem. This answers a question asked in [AS05]. For finite fields of the form $3 \Lambda(\#\mathbb{F} - 1)$, this result implies that the two problems are infact equivalent. This result also has the following interesting consequence: Graph Isomorphism ${\leq}^P_m$$\mathbb{F}$-algebra Isomorphism ${\leq}^P_m$ Cubic Form Equivalence.
