In this paper we study the distribution of the size of the value set for a random polynomial with degree at most $q-1$ over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$. We obtain the exact probability distribution and show that the number of missing…

In this paper, we investigate permutation polynomials over the finite field $\mathbb F_{q^n}$ with $q=2^m$, focusing on those in the form $\mathrm{Tr}(Ax^{q+1})+L(x)$, where $A\in\mathbb F_{q^n}^*$ and $L$ is a $2$-linear polynomial over…

Let $\mathbb{F}_{q^n}$ be a finite field with $q^n$ elements, and let $m_1$ and $m_2$ be positive integers. Given polynomials $f_1(x), f_2(x) \in \mathbb{F}_q[x]$ with $\textrm{deg}(f_i(x)) \leq m_i$, for $i = 1, 2$, and such that the…

In this paper we take a deeper look at the self conjugate reciprocal (SCR) polynomials, which towards the end of the paper aid the construction of new classes of permutation polynomials of simpler forms over $\mathbb{F}_{q^{2}}$. The paper…

Let $f$ be an irreducible polynomial of prime degree $p\geq 5$ over $\QQ$, with precisely $k$ pairs of complex roots. Using a result of Jens H\"{o}chsmann (1999), we show that if $p\geq 4k+1$ then $\Gal(f/\QQ)$ is isomorphic to $A_{p}$ or…

Let $\mathbf{f} = (f_1, \ldots, f_R)$ be a system of polynomials with integer coefficients in which the degrees need not all be the same. We provide sufficient conditions for which the system of equations $f_j (x_1, \ldots, x_n) = 0 \ (1…

The existence of certain Fq-spaces of differential forms of the projective line over a field K containing Fq leads us to prove an identity linking the determinant of the Moore matrix of n indeterminates with the determinant of the Moore…

We show that the proportion of polynomials of degree $n$ over the finite field with $q$ elements, which have a divisor of every degree below $n$, is given by $c_q n^{-1} + O(n^{-2})$. More generally, we give an asymptotic formula for the…

A prime $p$ is called a Wieferich prime if $2^{p-1}\equiv 1 \pmod{p^2}$. A monic polynomial $f(x)\in {\mathbb Z}[x]$ of degree $N\ge 2$ is called monogenic if $f(x)$ is irreducible over ${\mathbb Q}$ and…

We study degree preserving maps over the set of irreducible polynomials over a finite field. In particular, we show that every permutation of the set of irreducible polynomials of degree $k$ over $\mathbb{F}_q$ is induced by an action from…

We begin the study of simple finite-dimensional prime representations of quantum affine algebras from a homological perspective. Namely, we explore the relation between self extensions of simple representations and the property of being…

A polynomial with rational coefficients is said to be pure with respect to a rational prime $p$ if its Newton polygon has one slope. In this article, we prove that the number of irreducible factors of the $n$-th iterate of a pure polynomial…

Let K be a field of characteristic p>0, and let q be a power of p. We determine all polynomials f in K[t]\K[t^p] of degree q(q-1)/2 such that the Galois group of f(t)-u over K(u) has a transitive normal subgroup isomorphic to PSL_2(q),…

We give necessary and sufficient conditions for a polynomial of the form x^r*(1+x^v+x^(2v)+...+x^(kv))^t to permute the elements of the finite field GF(q). Our results yield especially simple criteria in case (q-1)/gcd(q-1,v) is a small…

This article investigates the existence of an $r$-primitive $k$-normal polynomial, defined as the minimal polynomial of an $r$-primitive $k$-normal element in $\mathbb{F}_{q^n}$, with a specified degree $n$ and two given coefficients over…

We present novel algorithms to factor polynomials over a finite field $\F_q$ of odd characteristic using rank $2$ Drinfeld modules with complex multiplication. The main idea is to compute a lift of the Hasse invariant (modulo the polynomial…

Let $R$ be a local principal ideal ring of length two, for example, the ring $R=\Z/p^2\Z$ with $p$ prime. In this paper we develop a theory of normal forms for similarity classes in the matrix rings $M_n(R)$ by interpreting them in terms of…

The problem of classifying tuples of nilpotent matrices over a field under simultaneous conjugation is considered "hopeless". However, for any given matrix order over a finite field, the number of concerned orbits is always finite. This…

We study how often exceptional configurations of irreducible polynomials over finite fields occur in the context of prime number races and Chebyshev's bias. In particular, we show that three types of biases, which we call "complete bias",…
