Irreducible polynomials over a finite field with restricted coefficients

Number Theory 2019-08-15 v1

Abstract

We prove a function field analogue of Maynard's result about primes with restricted digits. That is, for certain ranges of parameters n and q, we prove an asymptotic formula for the number of irreducible polynomials of degree n over a finite field F_q whose coefficients are restriced to lie in a given subset of F_q.
