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…
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…
For $q$ an odd prime power with $q>169$ we prove that there are always three consecutive primitive elements in the finite field $\mathbb{F}_{q}$. Indeed, there are precisely eleven values of $q \leq 169$ for which this is false. For $4\leq…
