Counting points on curves: the general case

Jan Tuitman

Published 2014-12-23Version 1

We introduce a new algorithm to compute the zeta function of a curve over a finite field. This method extends previous work of ours to all curves for which a lift to characteristic zero is known that satisfies certain conditions. We develop all the necessary bounds, analyse the complexity of the algorithm and provide some examples computed with our implementation.
