Query: Deterministic Polynomial Factoring and Association Schemes   The problem of finding a nontrivial factor of a polynomial f(x) over a finite
field F_q has many known efficient, but randomized, algorithms. The
deterministic complexity of this problem is a famous open question even
assuming the generalized Riemann hypothesis (GRH). In this work we improve the
state of the art by focusing on prime degree polynomials; let n be the degree.
If (n-1) has a `large' r-smooth divisor s, then we find a nontrivial factor of
f(x) in deterministic poly(n^r,log q) time; assuming GRH and that s >
sqrt{n/(2^r)}. Thus, for r = O(1) our algorithm is polynomial time. Further,
for r > loglog n there are infinitely many prime degrees n for which our
algorithm is applicable and better than the best known; assuming GRH.
  Our methods build on the algebraic-combinatorial framework of m-schemes
initiated by Ivanyos, Karpinski and Saxena (ISSAC 2009). We show that the
m-scheme on n points, implicitly appearing in our factoring algorithm, has an
exceptional structure; leading us to the improved time complexity. Our
structure theorem proves the existence of small intersection numbers in any
association scheme that has many relations, and roughly equal valencies and
indistinguishing numbers.
