Abstract

Bettale, Faugère, and Perret [3] present and analyze a hybrid method for solving multivariate polynomial systems over finite fields that mixes Gröbner bases computations with an exhaustive search. Inspired by their method, we use a hybrid approach to characterize all power integral bases in the pth cyclotomic field \({\mathbb{Q}(\zeta_p)}\) for the regular primes p = 29, 31, 41. For each prime p this involves solving a system of (p−1)/2 multivariate polynomial equations of degree (p−1)/2 in (p−1)/2 variables over the finite field \({\mathbb{Z}/p\mathbb{Z}}\).
