We then study this problem for the specific case of the torsion subgroups of elliptic curves. We give a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of a solution. We also present an algorithm to find a solution. Our algorithm easily generalizes to Abelian groups of prime power order having a specific structure. We then discuss a variant of this problem called Simultaneous Root Extraction.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2023-07-18T11:22:53.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "20-08", "20K01", "14H52" ], "keywords": [ "finite abelian groups", "prime power order", "specific structure", "simultaneous root extraction", "specific case" ], "tags": [ "dissertation" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
