Given positive integers $q,n,m$ and $a\in\mathbb{F}_{q}$, where $q$ is an odd prime power and $n\geq 5$, we investigate the existence of a primitive normal pair $(\epsilon,f(\epsilon))$ in $\mathbb{F}_{q^{n}}$ over $\mathbb{F}_{q}$ such…

Let $f=ax+x^{r(q-1)+1}\in \mathbb{F}_{q^2}^*[x], r\in \{5,7\}.$ We give explicit conditions on the values $(q,a)$ for which $f$ is a permutation polynomials of $\mathbb{F}_{q^2}.$

For $q$ an odd prime power, we prove that there are always four consecutive primitive elements in the finite field $\mathbb{F}_{q}$ when $q> 2401$.

We establish a Primitive Element Theorem for fields equipped with several commuting operators such that each of the operators is either a derivation or an automorphism. More precisely, we show that for every extension $F \subset E$ of such…

In this paper we derive a formula for the number of $N$-free elements over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ with prescribed trace, in particular trace zero, in terms of Gaussian periods. As a consequence, we derive a simple explicit formula…

We show that under certain conditions, well-studied algebraic properties transfer from the class $\mathcal{Q}_{_\text{RFSI}}$ of the relatively finitely subdirectly irreducible members of a quasivariety $\mathcal{Q}$ to the whole…

The use of permutation polynomials has appeared, along to their compositional inverses, as a good choice in the implementation of cryptographic systems. Hence, there has been a demand for constructions of these polynomials which…

Let $\mathbb F_q$ denote the finite field with $q$ elements. In this paper we use the relationship between suitable polynomials and number of rational points on algebraic curves to give the exact number of elements $a\in \mathbb F_q$ for…

We consider the problem of enumeration of primitive TSRs of order n over any finite field. Here we prove the existence of primitive TSRs of order two over binary field extensions. Moreover we give a general search algorithm for primitive…

In this paper, we investigate permutation polynomials over the finite field $\mathbb F_{q^n}$ with $q=2^m$, focusing on those in the form $\mathrm{Tr}(Ax^{q+1})+L(x)$, where $A\in\mathbb F_{q^n}^*$ and $L$ is a $2$-linear polynomial over…

We show the existence of many infinite classes of permutations over finite fields and bent functions by extending the notion of linear translators, introduced by Kyureghyan [12]. We call these translators Frobenius translators since the…

Let $p$ be a prime, $q=p^n$, and $D \subset \mathbb{F}_q^*$. A celebrated result of McConnel states that if $D$ is a proper subgroup of $\mathbb{F}_q^*$, and $f:\mathbb{F}_q \to \mathbb{F}_q$ is a function such that $(f(x)-f(y))/(x-y) \in…

Let $p>3$ and consider a prime power $q=p^h$. We completely characterize permutation polynomials of $\mathbb{F}_{q^2}$ of the type $f_{a,b}(X) = X(1 + aX^{q(q-1)} + bX^{2(q-1)}) \in \mathbb{F}_{q^2}[X]$. In particular, using connections…

Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ denote the finite field of order $q,$ $n$ be a positive integer coprime to $q$ and $t \geq 2$ be an integer. In this paper, we enumerate all the complementary-dual cyclic $\mathbb{F}_q$-linear $\mathbb{F}_{q^t}$-codes of…

Let $E$ be a subset of the affine plane over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$. We bound the size of the subgroup of $SL_2(\mathbb{F}_q)$ that preserves $E$. As a consequence, we show that if $E$ has size $\ll q^\alpha$ and is preserved by $\gg…

We consider the integers $\alpha$ of the quadratic field $ \mathbb{Q} (\sqrt{d}$ $)$ where $d\in \Z$ is square-free and $d\equiv 1,2,3 \pmod 4$. Let $p$ be an odd prime. Using the embedding into $ \text{GL}(2,\mathbb{Z})$ we obtain bounds…

We prove that the Lie algebra $\mathfrak{sl}_n(\textbf{F}_q)$ of traceless matrices over a finite field of characteristic $p$ can be generated by $2$ elements with exceptions when $(n, p)$ is $(3, 3)$ or $(4,2)$. In the latter cases, we…

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…

Let $G$ be a transitive permutation group on a finite set of size at least $2$. By a well known theorem of Fein, Kantor and Schacher, $G$ contains a derangement of prime power order. In this paper, we study the finite primitive permutation…
