Maximum scattered $\mathbb{F}_q$-linear sets of $\mathrm{PG}(1,q^4)$

Abstract

There are two known families of maximum scattered Fq\mathbb{F}_q-linear sets in PG(1,qt)PG(1,q^t): the linear sets of pseudoregulus type and for t4t\geq 4 the scattered linear sets found by Lunardon and Polverino. For t=4t=4 we show that these are the only maximum scattered Fq\mathbb{F}_q-linear sets and we describe the orbits of these linear sets under the groups PGL(2,q4)PGL(2,q^4) and PΓL(2,q4)P\Gamma L(2,q^4).
