Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be the finite field with $q$ elements, and $T$ a positive integer. In this article we find a sharp estimative of the total number of monic irreducible binomials in $\mathbb F_q[x]$ of degree less or equal to $T$, when $T$…

Permutation polynomials with explicit constructions over finite fields have long been a topic of great interest in number theory. In recent years, by applying linear translators of functions from $\mathbb{F}_{q^n}$ to $\mathbb{F}_q$, many…

Most integers are composite and most univariate polynomials over a finite field are reducible. The Prime Number Theorem and a classical result of Gau{\ss} count the remaining ones, approximately and exactly. For polynomials in two or more…

A sharp bound is obtained for the number of ways to express the monomial $X^n$ as a product of linear factors over $\mathbb{Z}/p^{\alpha}\mathbb{Z}$. The proof relies on an induction-on-scale procedure which is used to estimate the number…

In this note we study the number of quantum queries required to identify an unknown multilinear polynomial of degree d in n variables over a finite field F_q. Any bounded-error classical algorithm for this task requires Omega(n^d) queries…

For a suitable irreducible \textit{base} polynomial $f(x)\in \mathbf{Z}[x]$ of degree $k$, a family of polynomials $F_m(x)$ depending on $f(x)$ is constructed with the properties: (i) there is exactly one irreducible factor $\Phi_{d,f}(x)$…

For a root system R, a field K and an invertible element q in K let U be the associated quantum group, defined via Lusztig's divided powers construction. We study the irreducible characters of this algebra with integral (but not necessarily…
