We construct an analogue of the ring of algebraic numbers, living in a quotient of the product of all finite fields of prime order. We use this ring to deduce some results about linear recurrent sequences.

In literatures, there are various constructions of frequency hopping sequence (FHS for short) sets with good Hamming correlations. Some papers employed only multiplicative groups of finite fields to construct FHS sets, while other papers…

We prove that if the cardinality of a subset of the 2-dimensional vector space over a finite field with $q$ elements is $\ge \rho q^2$, with $\frac{1}{\sqrt{q}}<<\rho \leq 1$, then it contains an isometric copy of $\ge c\rho q^3$ triangles.

There exists an absolute constant $\delta > 0$ such that for all $q$ and all subsets $A \subseteq \mathbb{F}_q$ of the finite field with $q$ elements, if $|A| > q^{2/3 - \delta}$, then \[ |(A-A)(A-A)| = |\{ (a -b) (c-d) : a,b,c,d \in A\}| >…

We show explicit estimates on the number of $q$--rational points of an $F_q$--definable affine absolutely irreducible variety of the algebraic closure of the finite field $F_q$ of $q$ elements. Our estimates for a hypersurface significantly…

As a consequence of the classification of finite simple groups, the classification of permutation groups of prime degree is complete, apart from the question of when the natural degree $(q^n-1)/(q-1)$ of ${\rm L}_n(q)$ is prime. We present…

An overview of the accomplishments of constructive quantum field theory is provided.

After extending the classic notion of a tight Heffter array H$(m,n)$ to any group of order $2mn+1$, we give direct constructions for elementary abelian tight Heffter arrays, hence in particular for prime tight Heffter arrays. If $q=2mn+1$…

We prove that if $k$ is a positive integer then for every finite field $\mathbb{F}$ of cardinality $q\neq 2$ and for every positive integer $n$ such that $q^n>(k-1)^4$, every $n\times n$ matrix over $\mathbb{F}$ can be expressed as a sum of…

We use a function field version of the circle method to prove that a positive proportion of elements in $\mathbb{F}_q[t]$ are representable as a sum of three cubes of minimal degree from $\mathbb{F}_q[t]$, assuming a suitable form of the…

For a Dickson pair $(q,n)$ we show that $ \big \lbrace \frac{q^k-1}{q-1}, 1 \leq k < n \big \rbrace $ forms a finite complete set of different residues modulo $n$. We also study the construction of a finite Dickson nearfield that arises…

We develop a sequential-topological study of rational points of schemes of finite type over local rings typical in higher dimensional number theory and algebraic geometry. These rings are certain types of multidimensional complete fields…

In this paper we give an elementary proof of results on the structure of 4-class groups of real quadratic number fields originally due to A. Scholz. In a second (and independent) section we strengthen C. Maire's result that the 2-class…

This paper gives new methods of constructing {\it symmetric self-dual codes} over a finite field $GF(q)$ where $q$ is a power of an odd prime. These methods are motivated by the well-known Pless symmetry codes and quadratic double circulant…

Let $q$ be an odd number and $q>5$, and $\mathbb{F}_q$ be a finite field of $q$ elements. We prove that at most finitely many singular moduli of rank 2 $\mathbb{F}_q[t]$-Drinfeld modules are algebraic units. In particular, we develop some…

Let p and q be two positive primes. In this paper we obtain a complete characterization of quaternion division algebras H_K(p,q) over the composite K of n quadratic number fields. Also, in Section 6, we obtain a characterization of…

Let us consider an algebraic function field defined over a finite Galois extension $K$ of a perfect field $k$. We give some conditions allowing the descent of the definition field of the algebraic function field from $K$ to $k$. We apply…

In this paper, we consider rational functions $f$ with some minor restrictions over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_{q^n},$ where $q=p^k$ for some prime $p$ and positive integer $k$. We establish a sufficient condition for the existence of a…

We count numbers of tame frieze patterns with entries in a finite commutative local ring. For the ring $\mathbb{Z}/p^r\mathbb{Z}$, $p$ a prime and $r\in\mathbb{N}$ we obtain closed formulae for all heights. These may be interpreted as…

Let $q$ be a power of a prime and $\mathbb{F}_q$ the finite field consisting of $q$ elements. We prove explicit upper bounds on the number of incidences between lines and Cartesian products in $\mathbb{F}_q^2$. We also use our results on…
