Can you lift this to a computation on ideal classes, so as to be able to quickly handle (e.g.) any given supersingular curve over F_p after curve-independent precomputation?

As I explain in this paper, this representation is mostly theoretical because to compute a decomposition of F I need to evaluate f on log N points (using a standard evaluation algorithm), living in extensions of degree O(log N). [11/13]

So unless I need to evaluate f on *lots* of points, this won't be useful. But notice that the decomposition of F only needs to be computed once, once computed it can be sent in polylog space so its a lot more compact than representing f by its kernel. [12/13]

So we could imagine some isogeny protocols making use of it. But my main goal was to give more applications of the theory of higher dimensional isogenies to algorithms on elliptic curves. [13/13]
