Abstract: 

We will discuss various techniques for factoring zero-dimensional
polynomial systems, starting from a total degree Groebner basis.
All of the methods use linear algebra to compute a triangular form.
The goal is to reduce the size of this intermediate object, both by
splitting the system earlier in the computation and by modifying
the triangular form to reduce the size of the coefficients.
