Abstract

We present a variation of the modular algorithm for computing the Hermite Normal Form of an OK-module presented by Cohen [4], where OK is the ring of integers of a number field K. An approach presented in [4] based on reductions modulo ideals was conjectured to run in polynomial time by Cohen, but so far, no such proof was available in the literature. In this paper, we present a modification of the approach of [4] to prevent the coefficient swell and we rigorously assess its complexity with respect to the size of the input and the invariants of the field K.
