The aim of this paper is to unveil an unexpected relationship between the normal form of a polynomial with respect to a polynomial ideal and the more geometric concept of orthogonality. We present a new way to calculate the normal form of a…

We investigate bicomplex analogues of fundamental notions from classical algebraic number theory. In particular, we show that the primitive element theorem admits a natural generalization to bicomplex extensions, giving rise to two distinct…

This is a short note that explains a problem on polynomial maps over finite fields for non-experts. The problem is: Do there exist odd polynomial automorphisms over the finite fields with 4,8,16,32,64,... elements? The explanation is very,…

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…

We study endomorphisms of a free group of finite rank by means of their action on specific sets of elements. In particular, we prove that every endomorphism of the free group of rank 2 which preserves an automorphic orbit (i.e., acts ``like…

Let $q, n, m \in \mathbb{N}$ such that $q$ is a prime power, $m \geq 3$ and $a \in \mathbb{F}$. We establish a sufficient condition for the existence of a primitive normal pair ($\alpha$, $f(\alpha)$) in $\mathbb{F}_{q^m}$ over…

Let $k$ be a perfect field of characteristic $\neq 2$. We prove that the Schmidt rank (also known as strength) of a quartic polynomial $f$ over $k$ is bounded above in terms of only the Schmidt rank of $f$ over $\overline{k}$, an algebraic…

Let $X$ be an algebraic variety over a finite field $\bF_q$, homogeneous under a linear algebraic group. We show that the number of rational points of $X$ over $\bF_{q^n}$ is a periodic polynomial function of $q^n$ with integer…

It is well known that for any finite Galois extension field $K/F$, with Galois group $G = \mathrm{Gal}(K/F)$, there exists an element $\alpha \in K$ whose orbit $G\cdot\alpha$ forms an $F$-basis of $K$. Such an element $\alpha$ is called…

Permutation polynomials are an interesting subject of mathematics and have applications in other areas of mathematics and engineering. In this paper, we develop general theorems on permutation polynomials over finite fields. As a…

Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be the finite field with $q$ elements, where $q$ is a prime power and $n$ be a positive integer. In this paper, we explore the factorization of $f(x^{n})$ over $\mathbb{F}_q$, where $f(x)$ is an irreducible polynomial…

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…

Consider an algebraically closed field k and the Cremona group of all birational transformations of the projective plane over k. We characterize infinite order elements of this group having a non-zero power generating a proper normal…

It is shown that two vectors with coordinates in the finite $q$-element field of characteristic $p$ belong to the same orbit under the natural action of the symmetric group if each of the elementary symmetric polynomials of degree…

Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be the finite field of characteristic $p$ with $q$ elements and $\mathbb{F}_{q^n}$ its extension of degree $n$. The conjecture of Morgan and Mullen asserts the existence of primitive and completely normal elements (PCN…

For a field $E$ of characteristic different from $2$ and cohomological $2$-dimension one, quadratic forms over the rational function field $E(X)$ are studied. A characterisation in terms of polynomials in $E[X]$ is obtained for having that…

With $\Fq$ the finite field of $q$ elements, we investigate the following question. If $\gamma$ generates $\Fqn$ over $\Fq$ and $\beta$ is a non-zero element of $\Fqn$, is there always an $a \in \Fq$ such that $\beta(\gamma + a)$ is a…

Let G be a semi-simple algebraic group over a finitely generated field K of characteristic zero, and let \Gamma < G(K) be a finitely generated Zariski-dense subgroup. In this note we prove that the set of K-generic elements of \Gamma (whose…

In the present article we shown a formula to compute the number of all matrices over the finite field $F$ whit prescribed eigenvalues. Using this formula we obtain one inequality for the number of $(k+1)$-potent elements over finite rings.
