Denote by $\mathbb F_q$ the finite field of order $q$ and by $\mathbb F_{q^n}$ its extension of degree $n$. Some $a\in\mathbb F_{q^n}$ is called primitive if it generates the multiplicative group $\mathbb F_{q^n}^*$ and it is called…

Let $q=p^k$ be a prime power, let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be a finite field and let $n\geq2$ be an integer. This note investigates the existence small primitive normal elements in finite field extensions $\mathbb{F}_{q^n}$. It is shown that a small…

In this paper we study elements $\beta \in \mathbb{F}_{q^n}$ having normal $\alpha$-depth $b$; that is, elements for which $\beta, \beta - \alpha, \ldots, \beta-(b-1)\alpha$ are simultaneously normal elements of $\mathbb{F}_{q^n}$ over…

In this paper we generalize the results of Sharma, Awasthi and Gupta (see \cite{SAG}). We work over a field of any characteristic with $q = p^k$ elements and we give a sufficient condition for the existence of a primitive element $\alpha…

Let K be a finite Galois extension of Q. The normal basis theorem provides an element of K whose conjugates form a Q-basis of K. Here we obtain such an element with controlled size. This improves a recent result by Fukshansky and Jeong. By…

In this article, we establish a sufficient condition for the existence of a primitive element $\alpha \in {\mathbb{F}_{q^n}}$ such that the element $\alpha+\alpha^{-1}$ is also a primitive element of ${\mathbb{F}_{q^n}},$ and…

Normal bases and self-dual normal bases over finite fields have been found to be very useful in many fast arithmetic computations. It is well-known that there exists a self-dual normal basis of $\mathbb{F}_{2^n}$ over $\mathbb{F}_2$ if and…

Let $q=p^k$ be a prime power, let $n\geq2$ be an integer and let $\mathbb{F}_{q^n}$ be a finite field. It is shown that the set of primitive normal elements is a Salem set. Furthermore, it is proved that this set is strongly equidistributed…

For any finite Galois field extension $\mathsf{K}/\mathsf{F}$, with Galois group $G = \mathrm{Gal}(\mathsf{K}/\mathsf{F})$, there exists an element $\alpha \in \mathsf{K}$ whose orbit $G\cdot\alpha$ forms an $\mathsf{F}$-basis of…

We give a simple derivation of the formula for the number of normal elements in an extension of finite fields. Our proof is based on the fact that units in the Galois group ring of a field extension act simply transitively on normal…

An element w of the extension E of degree n over the finite field F=GF(q) is called free over F if {w, w^q,...,w^{q^{n-1}}} is a (normal) basis of E/F. The Primitive Normal Basis Theorem, first established in full by Lenstra and Schoof…

We give a completely normal element in the maximal real subfield of a cyclotomic field over the field of rational numbers, which is different from that of Okada. This result is a consequence of the criterion for a normal element developed…

A primitive completely normal element for an extension $\mathbb{F}_{q^n}/\mathbb{F}_{q}$ of Galois fields is a generator of the multiplicative group of $\mathbb{F}_{q^n}$, which simultaneously is normal over every intermediate field of 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…
