Abstract: We show that, for a system of univariate polynomials given in sparse encoding, we can compute a single polynomial defining the same zero set, in time quasi-linear in the logarithm of the degree. In particular, it is possible to determine whether such a system of polynomials does have a zero in time quasi-linear in the logarithm of the degree. The underlying algorithm relies on a result of Bombieri and Zannier on multiplicatively dependent points in subvarieties of an algebraic torus. We also present the following conditional partial extension to the higher dimensional setting. Assume that the effective Zilber conjecture holds. Then, for a system of multivariate polynomials given in sparse encoding, we can compute a finite collection of complete intersections outside hypersurfaces that defines the same zero set, in time quasi-linear in the logarithm of the degree.
