Abstract:

Building on techniques recently introduced by the second author, and further developed by the first author, we show that a positive integer $N$ may be rigorously and deterministically factored into primes in at most \[ O\left ( \frac {N^{1/5} \log ^{16/5} N}{(\log \log N)^{3/5}}\right ) \] bit operations. This improves on the previous best known result by a factor of $(\log \log N)^{3/5}$.
