Abstract:

We give a method for efficiently computing isomorphisms between towers of Artin-Schreier extensions over a finite field. We find that isomorphisms between towers of degree $p^n$ over a fixed field $\mathbb{F}_q$ can be computed, composed, and inverted in time essentially linear in $p^n$. The method relies on an approximation process.
