A search for c-Wieferich primes

Number Theory 2020-11-25 v1

Abstract

Let qq be a power of a prime number pp, Fq\mathbb F_q be a finite field with qq elements and G\mathcal{G} be a subgroup of (Fq,+)(\mathbb F_q,+) of order pp. We give an existence criterion and an algorithm for computing maximally G\mathcal{G}-fixed c-Wieferich primes in Fq[T]\mathbb F_q[T]. Using the criterion, we study how c-Wieferich primes behave in Fq[T]\mathbb F_q[T] extensions.
