Effective algorithms for matrix groups

Eamonn O'Brien (University of Auckland)

Abstract:
How can we compute effectively with a matrix group whose entries lie in a finite field?  We identify some inherent challenges, and outline a practical model which exploits randomness, geometry and detailed knowledge of the group structure.
