Description

  • Speaker

    Moritz Minzlaff - Technische Universität Berlin

Motivated by applications to computing zeta functions, we will discuss the log de Rham and de Rham cohomologies of smooth schemes (together with 'nice' divisors) over the Witt vectors. For the former, we will give an explicit description that eventually might lead to improvements to point counting algorithms. Regarding the latter, we will measure "how far" the de Rham cohomology of a curve is from being finitely generated in terms of the Hasse-Witt invariant of its special fibre.

    Speaker : Léo Colisson - Université Grenoble Alpes

    We provide a generic construction to turn any classical Zero-Knowledge (ZK) protocol into a composable oblivious transfer (OT) protocol (the protocol itself involving quantum interactions), mostly lifting the round-complexity properties and security guarantees (plain-model/statistical security/unstructured functions…) of the ZK protocol to the resulting OT protocol. Such a construction is unlikely[…]
