Abstract. The distribution of ideal class groups of Fq(T, M(T)) is examined for degree-four monic polynomials M Fq[T] when Fq is a finite field of characteristic greater than 3 wi...
This paper provides verification procedures for a number of decision problems in quadratic function fields of odd characteristic, thereby establishing membership of these problems...
We describe several cryptographic schemes in quadratic function fields of odd characteristic. In both the real and the imaginary representation of such a field, we present a Diffi...
