In this paper, we present a linear algebraic approach to the study of permutation polynomials that arise from linear maps over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_{q^2}$. We study a particular class of permutation polynomials over…

We prove new combinatorial results about polynomial configurations in large subsets of finite fields. Bergelson--Leibman--McCutcheon (2005) showed that for any polynomial $P(x) \in \mathbb{Z}[x]$ with $P(0) = 0$, if $A \subseteq…

For any given polynomial $f$ over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ with degree at most $q-1$, we associate it with a $q\times q$ matrix $A(f)=(a_{ik})$ consisting of coefficients of its powers $(f(x))^k=\sum_{i=0}^{q-1}a_{ik} x^i$ modulo…

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…

Let $q>2$, and let $a$ and $b$ be two elements of the finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ with $a\ne 0$. Carlitz represented the transposition $(0a)$ by a polynomial of degree $(q-2)^3$. In this note, we represent the transposition $(ab)$ by a…

For each prime p other than 3, and each power q=p^k, we present two large classes of permutation polynomials over F_{q^2} of the form X^r B(X^{q-1}) which have at most five terms, where B(X) is a polynomial with coefficients in {1,-1}. The…

We study a random polynomial of degree $n$ over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$, where the coefficients are independent and identically distributed and uniformly chosen from the squares in $\mathbb{F}_q$. Our main result demonstrates that…

We prove a function field analogue of Maynard's result about primes with restricted digits. That is, for certain ranges of parameters n and q, we prove an asymptotic formula for the number of irreducible polynomials of degree n over a…

We give new characterizations of the algebra $\mathscr{L}_n(\mathbb{F}_{q^n})$ formed by all linearized polynomials over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_{q^n}$ after briefly surveying some known ones. One isomorphism we construct is between…

As a consequence of the classification of finite simple groups, the classification of permutation groups of prime degree is complete, apart from the question of when the natural degree $(q^n-1)/(q-1)$ of ${\rm PSL}_n(q)$ is prime. We…

After a brief review of existing results on permutation binomials of finite fields, we introduce the notion of equivalence among permutation binomials (PBs) and describe how to bring a PB to its canonical form under equivalence. We then…

Let $F_q$ be a field with $q$ elements, where $q$ is a power of a prime number $p\geq 5$. For any integer $m\geq 2$ and $a\in F_q^*$ such that the polynomial $x^m-a$ is irreducible in $F_q[x]$, we combine two different methods to construct…

We classify those finite fields $\mathbb{F}_q$, for $q$ a power of some fixed prime number, whose members are the sum of an $n$-potent element with $n>1$ and a 4-potent element. It is shown that there are precisely ten non-trivial pairs…

A well-known result of von zur Gathen asserts that a non-exceptional permutation polynomial of degree $n$ over $\mathbb{F}_{q}$ exists only if $q<n^{4}$. With the help of the Weil bound for the number of $\mathbb{F}_{q}$-points on an…

Let $F$ be a field of $q$ elements, where $q$ is a power of an odd prime. Fix $n = (q+1)/2$. For each $s \in F$, we describe all the irreducible factors over $F$ of the polynomial $g_s(y): = y^n + (1-y)^n -s$, and we give a necessary and…

In this paper, we propose a new algebraic structure of permutation polynomials over $\mathbb{F}_{q^n}$. As an application of this new algebraic structure, we give some classes of new PPs over $\mathbb{F}_{q^n}$ and answer an open problem in…

It is well known that there exists a significant equivalence between the vector space $\mathbb{F}_{q}^n$ and the finite fields $\mathbb{F}_{q^n}$, and many scholars often view them as the same in most contexts. However, the precise…
