Permutation polynomials with coefficients 1 over finite fields attract researchers' interests due to their simple algebraic form. In this paper, we first construct four classes of fractional permutation polynomials over the cyclic subgroup…

We study the explicit factorization of $2^n r$-th cyclotomic polynomials over finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ where $q, r$ are odd with $(r, q) =1$. We show that all irreducible factors of $2^n r$-th cyclotomic polynomials can be obtained…

A finite group $G$ is called monomial if every irreducible character of $G$ is induced from a linear character of some subgroup of $G$. One of the main questions regarding monomial groups is whether or not a normal subgroup $N$ of a…

Elements of the Riordan group $\cal R$ over a field $\mathbb F$ of characteristic zero are infinite lower triangular matrices which are defined in terms of pairs of formal power series. We wish to bring to the forefront, as a tool in the…

Let $p$ be a prime. A $p$-group $G$ is defined to be semi-extraspecial if for every maximal subgroup $N$ in $Z(G)$ the quotient $G/N$ is a an extraspecial group. In addition, we say that $G$ is ultraspecial if $G$ is semi-extraspecial and…

Let $f(x)\in {\mathbb Z}[x]$ be an $N$th degree polynomial that is monic and irreducible over ${\mathbb Q}$. We say that $f(x)$ is {\em monogenic} if $\{1,\theta,\theta^2,\ldots ,\theta^{N-1}\}$ is a basis for the ring of integers of…

Let $F$ be a field of prime characteristic $p$ containing $F_{p^n}$ as a subfield. We refer to $q(X)=X^{p^n}-X-a\in F[X]$ as a generalized Artin-Schreier polynomial. Suppose that $q(X)$ is irreducible and let $C_{q(X)}$ be the companion…

Generalized quasi-cyclic (GQC) codes with arbitrary lengths over the ring $\mathbb{F}_{q}+u\mathbb{F}_{q}$, where $u^2=0$, $q=p^n$, $n$ a positive integer and $p$ a prime number, are investigated. By the Chinese Remainder Theorem,…

An irreducible polynomial over $\Bbb F_q$ is said to be normal over $\Bbb F_q$ if its roots are linearly independent over $\Bbb F_q$. We show that there is a polynomial $h_n(X_1,\dots,X_n)\in\Bbb Z[X_1,\dots,X_n]$, independent of $q$, such…

Consider the set of all powers $\text{GL}(n ,q)^M = \{x^M \mid x\in \text{GL}(n, q)\}$ for an integer $M\geq 2$. In this article, we aim to enumerate the regular, regular semisimple and semisimple elements as well as conjugacy classes in…

Let $G$ be a finite group and let $\Irr(G)$ denote the set of irreducible complex characters of $G$. For a normal subgroup $N \trianglelefteq G$ and $\chi \in \Irr(G)$, we say that $\chi$ is \emph{fully ramified} over $N$ if $\chi(g)=0$ for…

Let $\mathbb{F}_q[t]$ denote the ring of polynomials over $\mathbb{F}_q$, the finite field of $q$ elements. Suppose the characteristic of $\mathbb{F}_q$ is not $2$ or $3$. In this paper, we prove an $\mathbb{F}_q[t]$-analogue of results…

For each odd prime power q, we construct an infinite sequence of rational functions f(X) in F_q(X), each of which is exceptional, which means that for infinitely many n the map c-->f(c) induces a bijection of P^1(F_{q^n}). Moreover, each of…

Let $\mathbb F_q$ be a finite field with $q$ elements, $G$ a finite cyclic group of order $p^k$ and $p$ is an odd prime with ${\rm gcd}(q,p)=1$. In this article, we determine an explicit expression for the primitive idempotents of $\mathbb…

Let $f(u)$ be a polynomial of degree $m, m \geq 2,$ which splits into distinct linear factors over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_{q}$. Let $\mathcal{R}=\mathbb{F}_{q}[u]/\langle f(u)\rangle$ be a finite non-chain ring. In an earlier paper, we…

Let $H$ be a subgroup of a group $G$. We say that $H$ satisfies the power condition with respect to $G$, or $H$ is a power subgroup of $G$, if there exists a non-negative integer $m$ such that $H=G^{m}=<g^{m} | g \in G >$. In this note, the…

Given a finite group G with an irreducible character \chi \in Irr(G), the codegree of \chi is defined by cod(\chi) = |G :\ker \chi|/\chi(1). The set of non-linear irreducible character codegrees of G is denoted by cod(G|G'). In this note,…
