The category $\bcalNT$ was defined in \cite{Lobos2}, it is a category whose objects are commutative nil graded algebras over a field, defined by presentation encoded by triangular matrices. A natural problem related to this category is to…

Let $F_q$ be a field with $q$ elements, where $q$ is a power of a prime number $p\geq 5$. For any integer $m\geq 2$ and $a\in F_q^*$ such that the polynomial $x^m-a$ is irreducible in $F_q[x]$, we combine two different methods to construct…

In each of the three projective planes coordinatised by the Knuth's binary semifield $\mathbb{K}_n$ of order $2^n$ and two of its Knuth derivatives, we exhibit a new family of infinitely many translation hyperovals. In particular, when…

In this paper we look at the automorphisms of the multiplicative group of finite nearfields. We find partial results for the actual automorphism groups. We find counting techniques for the size of all finite nearfields. We then show that…

Permutation polynomials are an interesting subject of mathematics and have applications in other areas of mathematics and engineering. In this paper, we develop general theorems on permutation polynomials over finite fields. As a…

Finite field transforms have many applications and, in many cases, can be implemented with a low computational complexity. In this paper, the Z Transform over a finite field is introduced and some of its properties are presented.

We obtain several results concerning the concept of isotypic structures. Namely we prove that any field of finite transcendence degree over a prime subfield is defined by types; then we construct isotypic but not isomorphic structures with…

We classify all finite groups with five relative commutativity degrees. Also, we give a partial answer to our previous conjecture on a lower bound of the number of relative commutativity degrees of finite groups.

In this paper we collect and improve the techniques for calculating the nuclei of a semifield and we use these tools to determine the order of the nuclei and of the center of some commutative presemifields of odd characteristic recently…

Permutation polynomials over finite fields play important roles in finite fields theory. They also have wide applications in many areas of science and engineering such as coding theory, cryptography, combinatorial design, communication…

We define a new finite type invariant for stably homeomorphic class of curves on compact oriented surfaces without boundaries and extend to a regular homotopy invariant for spherical curves.

We prove:(1) the existence, for every integer n > 3, of a noncompact smooth n-dimensional topological manifold whose diffeomorphism group contains an isomorphic copy of every finitely presented group; (2) a finiteness theorem on finite…

We show that the number of non-isotopic commutative semifields of odd order $p^{n}$ is exponential in $n$ when $n = 4t$ and $t$ is not a power of $2$. We introduce a new family of commutative semifields and a method for proving isotopy…

The number of topologies and non-homeomorphic topologies on a fixed finite set are now known up to $n=18$, $n=16$ but still no complete formula yet (Sloane). There are one to one correspondence among topologies, preorder and digraphs. In…

We consider the maximal number of arbitrary points in a special fibre that can be simultaneously approached by points in one sequence of general fibres. Several results about this topological invariant and their applications describe the…

Hobby has recently shown that almost all finite hyperfields of even order fail to be the quotient of a field. Using a probabilistic argument, we extend this result to all orders: a finite hyperfield is almost always non-quotient. This…

We study countable embedding-universal and homomorphism-universal structures and unify results related to both of these notions. We show that many universal and ultrahomogeneous structures allow a concise description (called here a finite…

Power-counting arguments based on extended superfields have been used to argue that two-dimensional supersymmetric sigma models with (4,0) supersymmetry are finite. This result is confirmed up to three loop order in pertubation theory by an…

We present new classes of permutation polynomials over finite fields.

In \cite{D1}, Dickson listed all permutation polynomials up to degree 5 over an arbitrary finite field, and all permutation polynomials of degree 6 over finite fields of odd characteristic. The classification of degree 6 permutation…
