Tabulation of cubic function fields via polynomial binary cubic forms

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We present a method for tabulating all cubic function fields over mathbbFq(t) whose discriminant D has either odd degree or even degree and the leading coefficient of 3D is a non-square in mathbbFq, up to a given bound B on the degree of D. Our method is based on a generalization of Belabas' method for tabulating cubic number fields. The main theoretical ingredient is a generalization of a theorem of Davenport and Heilbronn to cubic function fields, along with a reduction theory for binary cubic forms that provides an efficient way to compute equivalence classes of binary cubic forms. The algorithm requires O(B4qB) field operations as Bightarrowinfty. The algorithm, examples and numerical data for q=5,7,11,13 are included.
