Algorithmic Number Theory 7th International Symposium, ANTS-VII, Berlin, Germany, July 23-28, 2006, Proceedings

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 7th International Algorithmic Number Theory Symposium, ANTS 2006, held in Berlin, Germany in July 2006.
The 37 revised full papers presented together with 4 invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected for inclusion in the book. The papers are organized in topical sections on algebraic number theory, analytic and elementary number theory, lattices, curves and varieties over fields of characteristic zero, curves over finite fields and applications, and discrete logarithms.
