What do we know about efficiently finding a solution to a system of multivariate polynomials over finite fields?

Consider the following (NP-complete) problem: Given a system of polynomials $f_1, f_2, \ldots, f_m \in \mathbb{F}_q[x_1, x_2, \ldots, x_n]$ of total degree at most $d$, find an $\mathbb{F}_q$-rational ...

Polynomial sized arithmetic map from circle to ellipse preserving integral points

Let $n$ be a square free integer and a product of $O(m/\log m)$ number of primes $1\bmod 4$ where $m$ is $\log_2n$. Take the circle around origin of radius $n^2$. It has ${\exp}(m/\log m)$ number of ...

Polynomial size embeddings of toric varieties from polytopes?

Background: Let $P$ be a integral polytope, and $X_P$ the toric variety associated to the normal fan. $X_P$ is always projective, because the collection of characters corresponding to the points $\...

Exactly Counting the Number of Lattice Points in an $n$-Dimensional Sphere

Let $S_n(R)$ denote the number of lattice points in an $n$-dimensional "sphere" with radius $R$. For clarification, I am interested in lattice points found both strictly inside the sphere, and on its ...

Nonclassical polynomials, circles, and groups

Tao and Ziegler have introduced a generalization of polynomials over a prime field called nonclassical polynomials, useful for studying the Gowers norm. A nonclassical polynomial of degree $d$ is a ...

Given a formal power series ,decide whether there exists a polynomial the series satisfies and if it exists,how to write it down?

Given a formal power series $$y(x)=\sum_{i=0}^{\infty} a_i x^i$$ Is there an algorithm that decides whether there exists a polynomial$$ P(x,y)=p_n(x)y^n+p_{n-1}(x)y^{n-1}+\cdots+p_0(x)=0,p_j(x)\in F[x]...
