Abstract : We propose a probabilistic Las Vegas variant of Brill-Noether's algorithm for computing a basis of the Riemann-Roch space $L(D)$ associated to a divisor $D$ on a projective plane curve $\mathcal C$ over a sufficiently large perfect field $k$. Our main result shows that this algorithm requires at most $O(\max(\mathrm{deg}(\mathcal C)^{2\omega}, \mathrm{deg}(D_+)^\omega))$ arithmetic operations in $k$, where $\omega$ is a feasible exponent for matrix multiplication and $D_+$ is the smallest effective divisor such that $D_+\geq D$. This improves the best known upper bounds on the complexity of computing Riemann-Roch spaces. Our algorithm may fail, but we show that provided that a few mild assumptions are satisfied, the failure probability is bounded by $O(\max(\mathrm{deg}(\mathcal C)^4, \mathrm{deg}(D_+)^2)/\lvert E\rvert)$, where $E$ is a finite subset of $k$ in which we pick elements uniformly at random. We provide a freely available C++/NTL implementation of the proposed algorithm and we present experimental data. In particular, our implementation enjoys a speed-up larger than 9 on several examples compared to the reference implementation in the Magma computer algebra system. As a by-product, our algorithm also yields a method for computing the group law on the Jacobian of a smooth plane curve of genus $g$ within $O(g^\omega)$ operations in $k$, which slightly improves in this context the best known complexity $O(g^{\omega+\varepsilon})$ of Khuri-Makdisi's algorithm.
