Abstract

In this paper we investigate how the complexity of the shortest vector problem in a lattice Λ depends on the cycle structure of the additive group Zn/Λ. We give a proof that the shortest vector problem is NP-complete in the max-norm for n-dimensional lattices Λ where Zn/Λ has n-1 cycles. We also give experimental data that show that the LLL algorithm does not perform significantly better on lattices with a high number of cycles.
