Recently, a new concept called the $c$-differential uniformity was proposed by Ellingsen et al. (2020), which allows to simplify some types of differential cryptanalysis. Since then, finding functions having low $c$-differential uniformity…

We study in detail the class of even polynomials and their behavior with respect to finite free convolutions. To this end, we use some specific hypergeometric polynomials and a variation of the rectangular finite free convolution to…

Recently, there has been a lot of work on constructions of permutation polynomials of the form $(x^{2^m}+x+\delta)^{s}+x$ over the finite field $\F_{2^{2m}}$, especially in the case when $s$ is of the form $s=i(2^m-1)+1$ (Niho exponent). In…

Let $\mathbb{F}$ be a finite field and let $f$ be a linear polynomial in $\mathbb{F}[x]$. We investigate the number of polynomials of degree $d$ which commute with $f$ under composition. In so doing, we rediscover a result of Park, but with…

Let $q$ be a prime power and $n$ and $r$ be positive integers. It is well known that the linearized binomial $L_r(x)=x^{q^r}+ax\in\mathbb{F}_{q^n}[x]$ is a permutation polynomial if and only if $(-1)^{n/d}a^{{(q^n-1)}/{(q^{d}-1)}}\neq 1$…

A key property of an algebraic variety is whether it is absolutely irreducible, meaning that it remains irreducible over the algebraic closure of its defining field, and determining absolute irreducibility is important in algebraic geometry…

Let $S$ be a rational fraction and let $f$ be a polynomial over a finite field. Consider the transform $T(f)=\operatorname{numerator}(f(S))$. In certain cases, the polynomials $f$, $T(f)$, $T(T(f))\dots$ are all irreducible. For instance,…
