In this paper, we investigate the existence of self-dual MRD codes $C\subset L^n$, where $L/F$ is an arbitrary field extension of degree $m\geq n$. We then apply our results to the case of finite fields, and prove that if $m=n$ and…

Let $p$ be a prime and $q=p^e$. We discuss the properties of the reversed Dickson polynomial $D_{n,2}(1,x)$ of the third kind. We also give several necessary conditions for the reversed Dickson polynomial of the third kind $D_{n,2}(1,x)$ to…
We give a recursive construction for projective Reed-Muller codes in terms of affine Reed-Muller codes and projective Reed-Muller codes in fewer variables. From this construction, we obtain the dimension of the subfield subcodes of…

We study the collection of group structures that can be realized as a group of rational points on an elliptic curve over a finite field (such groups are well known to be of rank at most two). We also study various subsets of this collection…

Let R be an affine algebra of dimension n \geq 3 over an algebraically closed field k. Suppose char k =0 or char k =p \geq n. Let g,f_1,...,f_r be a R-regular sequence and A=R[f_1/g,...,f_r/g]. Let P be a projective A-module of rank n-1…
After giving an overview of the existing theory regarding the periods of sequences defined by linear recurrences over finite fields, we give explicit descriptions of the sets of periods that arise if one considers all sequences over…
We push further the classical proof of Weil upper bound for the number of rational points of an absolutely irreducible smooth projective curve $X$ over a finite field in term of euclidean relationships between the Neron Severi classes in…
We sharpen to nearly optimal the known asymptotic and explicit bounds for the number of $\mathbb{F}_q$-rational points on a geometrically irreducible hypersurface over a (large) finite field. The proof involves a Bertini-type probabilistic…
In this two-part paper we prove an existence result for affine buildings arising from exceptional algebraic reductive groups. Combined with earlier results on classical groups, this gives a complete and positive answer to the conjecture…
In this paper, we describe finite, additively commutative, congruence simple semirings. The main result is that the only such semirings are those of order 2, zero-multiplication rings of prime order, matrix rings over finite fields, those…
Let $Q$ be the matrix $\displaystyle \begin{pmatrix} a & b \\ 1 & 0 \end{pmatrix}$ in $GL_2(\mathbb{F}_q)$ where $\mathbb{F}_q$ is a finite field, and let $G$ be the finite cyclic group generated by $Q$. We consider the action of $G$ on the…
Permutation polynomials over finite fields are an interesting subject due to their important applications in the areas of mathematics and engineering. In this paper we investigate the trinomial $f(x)=x^{(p-1)q+1}+x^{pq}-x^{q+(p-1)}$ over…

Given a prime $p$, a number field $\K$ and a finite set of places $S$ of $\K$, let $\K_S$ be the maximal pro-$p$ extension of $\K$ unramified outside $S$. Using the Golod-Shafarevich criterion one can often show that $\K_S/\K$ is infinite.…
