# DISCUSSION FROM ATELIER 2014 & AFTERMATH ([X] = DONE!)
New mathematical features for PARI-2.8 (testing) -> PARI-2.9 (stable)
## Elliptic curves / Arithmetic geometry
- [X] over number fields [ general infrastructure ]
- Tate's algorithm over number fields, above 2 and 3 as well ! (Nicolas?)
- global minimal equation, Weierstrass class
- [X] qfsolve [ over Q ]
- include ratpoint ?
- include Denis Simon's ellQ.gp
- descent
- S-integral points
- fields generated by torsion points under Galois action.
- [X] modular equation / class polynomials (Hamish)
- isogeny matrix
- pairings / APIP [ Jerome Milan's package ] :
- fix Tate self pairing
- FpE_FpQXE_* [ 1 pt in base, 1 pt in extension ]
- various optimized crypto pairings
- [X] Frobenius matrix via Kedlaya's algorithm for p>2
- Frobenius matrix via Kedlaya's algorithm for p=2
- Genus 2 curves
- Export local solvability of hyperelliptic equations (over number fields)
- Arithmetic & pairings on Mumford representation for hyperelliptic
curves Jacobians
- Khuri-Makdisi's algorithms (Jacobians of (modular) curves)
- Khuri-Makdisi's algorithms (Jacobians of (modular) curves) (Peter, Nicolas)
## Modular symbols
- [X] modular symbols, merge the kb-modsym2 branch
- support \Gamma_0(1) !
- q-expansions for Eisenstein symbols
- support \Gamma_1(N)
- other coefficient modules F_q[x,y]_{k-2}, p-adic distributions
(overconvergent symbols), etc.
## Algebraic number theory
- dynamic nf (confer 'ell'): add new components dynamically as they are
computed (integer basis, class group/units...)
- better rnf structures allowing maps between TWO nf [not 1 nf + 1 hack] (useful for CSA Aurel)
- rnfidealprimedec
- compact fundamental units (bnfinit + flag)
- compact S-units (bnfinit + flag)
- rewrite bnfsunit to compute directly S-units without reducing to
fundamental units ?
- cyclotomic units / subfields to help bnfinit (Jean-Robert)
- get rid of bnrinit(,,1): *no* function should need explicit expanded
generators, implicit descriptions in terms of linear algebra should be
enough.
- rewrite lowerboundforregulator [#1572]
- [X] relative polcompositum
- rnfkummer for composite degrees
- rnfkummer for non-squarefree degrees (needed for CSA Aurel)
- [X] fix rnfkummer (fix and merge kb-rnfkummer)
- [X] bnrisgalois
- [X] polsturm -> Uspensky (merge loic-Uspensky)
- abstract / generalize ad hoc abelian groups constructions (short exact
sequences)
- sign of algebraic number [ proven ]
- idealispower
- idealsqrtn (useful for CSA Aurel)
- nfissquare
- non maximal orders
- cubic / quartic / quintic fields by discriminant
- support idealstar / ideallog with nf = NULL (over Q)
- more central simple algebras: orders, ideals, localizations (Aurel)
- Fieker-Klueners polgalois algorithm, GAP module using PARI ?
- van Hoeij-Klueners (maximal) sufbields algorithm
## L-functions (Pascal / Henri)
- Dirichlet character
- Hecke character
- L(s,\chi), at least for deg <=2
- Artin L-functions
## Multiprecision:
- Change libpari prec variable to be in bits instead of words.
- merge the new-t_REAL branch
- go through transcendental functions and include rigorous/faster
algorithms
- hooks to optionally link with mpfr / mpc higher lever routines
- asymptotically fast Flx_resultant [ see Flint ]
## Parallelisation, use parallel interface internally:
- CRT
- polmodular
- factorint
- znlog
- SEA
- bnfinit
- ...
## GP
- 0xDEADBEEF (integers in hexadecimal)
- expose the iterator associated to forxxx() functions, e.g.
forprime [ vectorprime(), sumprime(), prodprime(), prime ideals... ]
partition / forpartion [ ... ]
certain subsets (e.g. sets with m elements, words of Hamming
weight k...)
- forprimestep(p = a, {b}, Mod(c,d), ...)
- forfactored
- [X] fold
- [X] move "useful" functions from gp.c -> libpari (e.g. handling of
\[a-z] shortcuts)
- V[-1] (= V[#V-1]) ?
- V[a..b] when a > b ? (= [])
[CONTROVERSIAL: cool but marginally useful compared to effort]
- "dictonary arguments" (aka named parameters)
f( disc := 10, p := 7, len := 18 )
instead of f(len, disc, p) = ; f(18,10,7) \\ imagine 42 arguments
## Misc
- Factorisation of bivariate polynomials (bifactor script)
- Baker-Davenport
- Generic Newton method
- Abel-Jacobi map
## Technical stuff / internals
- cleanup input/output (don't change global pari_infile, etc.)
- [Configure] let gcc try to find its libraries first [ don't start by
overriding with /usr/lib, /usr/lib64, etc ]
- properly tune Flx operations wrt p and degree.
- cleanup entree*
- remove built-in hashtable and use generic one
- don't overload "value" / remove "useless" struct members
- parser must only create polynomial variables when creating a t_POL/t_SER
- separate valuation for t_SER / t_PADIC (servalp / valp)
- rename all gerepile* functions -> gc_*
- fix DLLDFLAGS on OS/X [#1623]
# LEFTOVERS FROM ATELIER 2013
## Short hacks
- Lambert W [ for x >= -1/e ! ]
- primepi for large arguments
- inverse gamma / inverse erfc
- LinearRecurrence [ via Mod(x, T(x))^N ]
- Hurwitz zeta
- Bell numbers
- sumrat \sum F(n), F rational function
\sum (-1)^n F(n), F rational function
\prod F(n))
- sumeulerrat, \sum_{p prime} F(p^s)
\prod_{p prime} F(p^s)
- tools for p-adic analysis: Newton polygon (slopes, # of zeros), Amice
transform and interpolation
- vecprod (= \prod_i v[i]), see vecsum
## Long term projects
- change t_SER format (-> faster + easier to maintain)
s[0] = type | lg
s[1] = valuation
s[2] = precp
s[2] = t_POL + functions operating on t_POL mod X^n [ RgXn_... ]
- t_REAL format
- stat functions ? -> Gaussian vectors
- Elliptic curves over finite fields: [proposed by Damien Robert]
1) Basic
- geometric points over an extension
- base change
- Various models, morphisms between them, e.g. from / to Weierstrass
2) Isogenies
- isogeny graphs
- If $\phi_l(j,j')=0$, compute the isogeny corresponding to E, E'
- Isogeny class of an elliptic curve
- Endomorphism ring
3) Misc
- Weil restriction
- Symplectic basis for l-torsion
