This paper defines a linear representation for nonlinear maps $F:\mathbb{F}^n\rightarrow\mathbb{F}^n$ where $\mathbb{F}$ is a finite field, in terms of matrices over $\mathbb{F}$. This linear representation of the map $F$ associates a…

We develop several combinatorial notions about laminations, some with clear implications for parameter space. We introduce a simplified class of laminations called finite dynamical laminations (FDL). In order to count FDL, we introduce…

In this paper, we propose a new method to obtain new permutation polynomials over $\mathbb{F}_{q^2}$. Using this method, we extend many known permutation polynomials, which take the form $\sum_i(x^q-x+\delta)^{s_i}+L(x)$, where $L(x)$ is a…

In this paper we construct planar polynomials of the type $f_{A,B}(x)=x(x^{q^2}+Ax^{q}+Bx)\in \mathbb{F}_{q^3}[x]$, with $A,B \in \mathbb{F}_{q}$. In particular we completely classify the pairs $(A,B)\in \mathbb{F}_{q}^2$ such that…

Let $f(x)$ be a monic polynomial over $\mathbb{Q}$ with complex roots $\alpha_1,\dots,\alpha_n$. Linear relations among them and $1$ over $\mathbb{Q}$ play an important role when we study the distribution of roots modulo a prime. We study…

We develop a theory of sesquilinear forms over finite fields, investigating their representations via polynomials and coefficient matrices, along with classification results for these forms. Through their connection to quadratic forms, we…

We consider the issue of when the L-polynomial of one curve over $\F_q$ divides the L-polynomial of another curve. We prove a theorem which shows that divisibility follows from a hypothesis that two curves have the same number of points…
