Talk Title: SAP TERP 10 Student Certification Academy
Abstract: Course Number & Dates:
Session 2 (SAP 0614-06):
Monday, June 2nd - Friday, June 6th, 2014
Monday, June 9th - Thursday, June 12th, 2014
Certification Exam on Friday, June 13th, 2014
The University of Southern California, being an active member of SAP's Global University Alliances program since its inception in 1996, has been chosen to offer the TERP10 Academy to its students in early Summer 2014. The TERP10 Academy, and its certification, is a direct response to the global forecast of needed SAP skills in the market, estimated between 30,000 and 40,000, in the next several years. Students completing the TERP10 Academy and passing SAP's certification exam will have the advantage of being equipped with a good understanding of business processes adopted by companies around the world. They will also get insights into best business practices and how SAP can be used to optimize business processes. Students will find that the TERP10 Certification will open internship opportunities as well as full time jobs with consulting firms such as Deloitte, Ernst and Young, KPMG, Hitachi, and other SAP partner companies.

Title: Computation of Class Groups and Residue Class Rings of Function Fields over Finite Fields.

Abstract.
We study the computation of the structure of two naturally occurring finite abelian groups associated with function fields over finite fields : the degree zero divisor class group and the multiplicative group of the finite field itself.
Let k be the rational function field over a finite field and let F/k be a finite geometric abelian extension with a rational place that completely splits. We prove that for all primes p neither dividing the characteristic of k nor the degree of F/k, the structure of the p-part of the divisor class group of F is determined by Kolyvagin derivative classes that are constructed out of Euler systems associated with Stark units. Further, we describe an algorithm to compute the structure of the p-part of the divisor class group given a certain Galois module generator of the Stark units. Unlike index calculus methods, our algorithm for computing divisor class groups is deterministic. Other applications of our technique include a fast algorithm for computing the divisor class number of narrow ray class extensions.
The multiplicative group of a finite field is cyclic and generators (primitive elements) are abundant. However, finding one efficiently remains an unsolved problem. We describe a deterministic algorithm for finding a generating element of the multiplicative group of the finite field with p^n elements where p is a prime. In time polynomial in p and n, the algorithm either outputs an element that is provably a generator or declares that it has failed in finding one. Under a heuristic assumption, the algorithm does succeed in finding a generator.
In addition, we present a novel algorithm to factor polynomials over finite fields using Carlitz modules from the arithmetic theory of function fields.
