Yes, almost surely Schnorr wrote this pdf file, but..  We’ve no idea who wrote the abstract or posted it on the eprint server.  lol

Schnorr has explored this technique rather publicly for many years, including circulating multiple versions of these research notes.   The version https://eprint.iacr.org/2021/232 is dated October 2019, but actually the most recent anyone pointed out is dated March 2020:
https://www.math.uni-frankfurt.de/~dmst/teaching/WS2019/SVP9.pdf

I’d expect this troll will achieve some good, by getting a few knowledgeable people to discuss the techniques with Schnorr.   :)
