Deterministic finite field factorization library

Edition: 8 October 2026. Initial decision: Conditional research. The product interpretation and pricing are hypotheses; independent proof and buyer validation remain open.

Research finding

Family 142 claims complete deterministic polynomial bit-time factorization of dense polynomials over prime fields, with the prime supplied in binary. Its proof depends on a companion uniform Hecke zero-free result. The family has no listed scope document in the baseline.

Problem and buyer

A computer algebra or coding-theory software team may prefer reproducible finite-field factorization without randomized execution or conjectural assumptions, especially for difficult large-prime cases.

What the finding could enable

An exact backend could support deterministic symbolic workloads and reproducible build or verification pipelines. It would strengthen an existing algebra capability if its dependency chain and practical cost survive review.

Technical and commercial limits

This is polynomial factorization over a prime field, not integer factorization or a demonstrated attack on deployed cryptography. Dense coefficient input differs from sparse succinct input. Strong dependent analytic claims need independent assessment.

Minimal architecture

Dense input and prime validation -> deterministic backend -> multiply-back verification -> irreducibility checks -> benchmark suite. Pin all companion dependencies and preserve a fallback reference implementation.

Existing alternatives and differentiation

SymPy and other algebra systems already factor polynomials. Compare speed, determinism requirements and coefficient regimes before building a separate service.

Monetization hypothesis

Hypothesis: a supported backend, contract implementation or reproducibility integration rather than a mass-market application. AUD 5,000-20,000 pilot assumptions depend on a specialist customer with a real bottleneck.

Validation experiment

Use repeated factors, irreducible inputs, small and large primes and increasing degrees. Verify factor multiplication and multiplicities independently and measure actual coefficient and memory costs.

Conditions to reject or defer

Defer if the analytic dependency cannot be validated or if existing methods are faster and randomization is acceptable to customers.

Next concrete action

Map the exact companion theorem dependency and read the complete construction before starting an algorithm port.
