Computing Puiseux series: a fast divide and conquer algorithm

Let $F\in \mathbb{K}[X, Y ]$ be a polynomial of total degree $D$ defined over a perfect field $\mathbb{K}$ of characteristic zero or greater than $D$. Assuming $F$ separable with respect to $Y$ , we provide an algorithm that computes the singular parts of all Puiseux series of $F$ above $X = 0$ in less than $\tilde{\mathcal{O}}(D\delta)$ operations in $\mathbb{K}$, where $\delta$ is the valuation of the resultant of $F$ and its partial derivative with respect to $Y$. To this aim, we use a divide and conquer strategy and replace univariate factorization by dynamic evaluation. As a first main corollary, we compute the irreducible factors of $F$ in $\mathbb{K}[[X]][Y ]$ up to an arbitrary precision $X^N$ with $\tilde{\mathcal{O}}(D(\delta + N ))$ arithmetic operations. As a second main corollary, we compute the genus of the plane curve defined by $F$ with $\tilde{\mathcal{O}}(D^3)$ arithmetic operations and, if $\mathbb{K} = \mathbb{Q}$, with $\tilde{\mathcal{O}}((h+1)D^3)$ bit operations using a probabilistic algorithm, where $h$ is the logarithmic heigth of $F$.
