Abstract

Let q,n,mNq, n, m \in \mathbb{N} be such that qq is a prime power and a,bFa, b \in \mathbb{F}. In this article we establish a sufficient condition for the existence of a primitive normal pair (α,f(α))Fqm(\alpha, f(\alpha)) \in \mathbb{F}_{q^m} over F\mathbb{F} with a prescribed primitive norm aa and a non-zero trace bb over F\mathbb{F} of α\alpha, where f(x)Fqm(x)f(x) \in \mathbb{F}_{q^m}(x) is a rational function of degree sum nn with some minor restrictions. Furthermore, for q=7kq=7^k, m7m \geq 7 and rational functions with numerator and denominator being linear, we explicitly find at most 6 fields in which the desired pair may not exist.
