Factoring bivariate polynomials using adjoints
  One relates factorization of bivariate polynomials to singularities of projective plane curves. One proves that adjoint polynomials permit to solve the recombinations of the modular factors induced by the absolute and rational factorizations, and so without using Hensel's lifting. One establishes in such a way the relations between the algorithm of Duval-Ragot (locally constant functions) and of Ch\`eze-Lecerf (lifting and recombinations), and one shows that a fast computation of adjoint polynomials leads to a fast factorization. The proof is based on cohomological sequences and residue theory.
