Abstract

Let p be prime and Z"p"^"n a degree n unramified extension of the ring of p-adic integers Z"p. In this paper we give an overview of some very fast deterministic algorithms for common operations in Z"p"^"n modulo p^N. Combining existing methods with recent work of Kedlaya and Umans about modular composition of polynomials, we achieve quasi-linear time algorithms in the parameters n and N, and quasi-linear or quasi-quadratic time in logp, for most basic operations on these fields, including Galois conjugation, Teichmuller lifting and computing minimal polynomials.
