Oct 3, 2018 at 22:52 comment added Turbo @FrançoisBrunault For me I need to look in $\mathbb Z$ and I posted $m$ thinking it could simplify. However being in Char $m$ other trivialities may arise. The formulation for factoring would be $x_1x_2-Nx_0^2=0$ and this does not look like amenable to producing two additional homogeneous equations so that $x_0=1$ and product of coordinates of roots $\neq0$ holds. Hope there is way to this formulation.

Oct 3, 2018 at 22:25 comment added Turbo @FrançoisBrunault I think we could think that way if it helps.
Oct 3, 2018 at 16:49 comment added François Brunault It seems you are interested in the solutions in Z/mZ rather than in finite extensions. Solving systems of polynomial equations is a rather broad topic and there is abundant literature about it, you could start with en.wikipedia.org/wiki/… If you want to know about the complexity, you may want to specify what are the parameters (number of variables/polynomials, their degrees, the modulus $m$...).

Oct 3, 2018 at 15:01 comment added Turbo @FrançoisBrunault Oh I see then. Then I guess $O((\log m)^n)$ is unlikely if $m$ is non-prime. How does getting solutions in finite extensions help here? Is there illustrative example?
Oct 3, 2018 at 14:43 comment added François Brunault $(x,y,z)=(p,q,0) $ is a common root. Regarding elimination theory, if one is careful enough it does provide the solutions in finite extensions e.g. finite fields $\mathbb{F}_p[x]/(T)$ where T is an irreducible polynomial. I now understand your concern is also about efficiency. It makes sense in Z/mZ since this is a finite object.

Oct 3, 2018 at 13:44 comment added Turbo @FrançoisBrunault No definitely not my intent. Being a computer scientist I like to look at finite things and not infinite objects like $\overline{\mathbb F_p}$ and I think $\mathbb Z_m$ is right non-trivial object.
Oct 3, 2018 at 13:42 comment added François Brunault It is reasonable to assume $m=p$ is prime to start with. In this case classical elimination theory (with resultants) will give you the common roots in $\overline{\mathbb{F}_p}$ (I'm not sure the most efficient method however). Regarding the equation $xy=0$, you can always artificially add variables e.g. consider $xy=xz=yz=0$, but I assume that is not what you intend.

Oct 3, 2018 at 13:17 comment added François Brunault If you have one homogeneous polynomial in two variables, say $f(x,y)=xy$, then findind the non-trivial roots mod $m$ amounts to factor the integer $m$. Maybe you could clarify your setting and what you wish to know.
