Abstract

We propose a polynomial time f-algorithm (a deterministic algorithm which uses an oracle for factoring univariate polynomials over \(\mathbb {F}_q\)) for computing an isomorphism (if there is any) of a finite-dimensional \(\mathbb {F}_q(x)\)-algebra \(\mathcal{A}\) given by structure constants with the algebra of n by n matrices with entries from \(\mathbb {F}_q(x)\). The method is based on computing a finite \(\mathbb {F}_q\)-subalgebra of \(\mathcal{A}\) which is the intersection of a maximal \(\mathbb {F}_q[x]\)-order and a maximal R-order, where R is the subring of \(\mathbb {F}_q(x)\) consisting of fractions of polynomials with denominator having degree not less than that of the numerator.

Notes

  1. A polynomial bound for the dimension of C follows also simply from the polynomiality of the algorithm described here.
