Given a number field $K$ that is a subfield of the real numbers, we generalize the notion of the classical Frobenius problem to the ring of integers $\mathfrak{O}_K$ of $K$ by describing certain Frobenius semigroups,…

Given a prime power $q$ and a positive integer $n$, let $\mathbb{F}_{q^{n}}$ represents a finite extension of degree $n$ of the finite field ${\mathbb{F}_{q}}$. In this article, we investigate the existence of $m$ elements in arithmetic…

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 give a completely normal element in the maximal real subfield of a cyclotomic field over the field of rational numbers, which is different from that of Okada. This result is a consequence of the criterion for a normal element developed…

An irreducible polynomial over $\Bbb F_q$ is said to be normal over $\Bbb F_q$ if its roots are linearly independent over $\Bbb F_q$. We show that there is a polynomial $h_n(X_1,\dots,X_n)\in\Bbb Z[X_1,\dots,X_n]$, independent of $q$, such…

In this article, we study the existence and distribution of elements in finite field extensions with prescribed traces in several intermediate extensions that are also either normal or primitive normal. In the former case, we fully…

The previous paper [4] proved the existence of primitive polynomials and primitive normal polynomials of degree n with k prescribed coefficients in the finite field GF(q) for all sufficiently large q. This paper presents a loger versions of…

We discuss the problem of constructing a small subset of a finite field containing primitive elements of the field. Given a finite field, $\mathbb{F}_{q^n}$, small $q$ and large $n$, we show that the set of all low degree polynomials…

We first compare several algebraic notions of normality, from a categorical viewpoint. Then we introduce an intrinsic description of Higgins' commutator for ideal-determined categories, and we define a new notion of normality in terms of…

A number of problems in theoretical physics share a common nucleus of combinatoric nature. It is argued here that Hopf algebraic concepts and techiques can be particularly efficient in dealing with such problems. As a first example, a brief…

For an integer $r$, a prime power $q$, and a polynomial $f$ over a finite field ${\mathbb F}_{q^r}$ of $q^r$ elements, we obtain an upper bound on the frequency of elements in an orbit generated by iterations of $f$ which fall in a proper…

Let $\mathbb F_q$ be the finite field with $q$ elements, where $q$ is a prime power and, for each integer $n\ge 1$, let $\mathbb F_{q^n}$ be the unique $n$-degree extension of $\mathbb F_q$. The $\mathbb F_q$-orders of an element in…

In this paper, we explore the existence of $m$-terms arithmetic progressions in $\mathbb{F}_{q^n}$ with a given common difference whose terms are all primitive elements, and at least one of them is normal. We obtain asymptotic results for…

A result of A. Joseph says that any nilpotent or semisimple element $z$ in the Weyl algebra $A_1$ over some algebracally closed field $K$ of characterstic 0 has a normal form up to the action of the automorphism group of $A_1$. It is shown…

Let K be a finite Galois extension of Q. The normal basis theorem provides an element of K whose conjugates form a Q-basis of K. Here we obtain such an element with controlled size. This improves a recent result by Fukshansky and Jeong. By…

We let $\mathcal{F}$ be a finite family of sets closed under taking unions and $\emptyset \not \in \mathcal{F}$, and call an element abundant if it belongs to more than half of the sets of $\mathcal{F}$. In this notation, the classical…

Using the properties of the ideal of the coordinate Hermite interpolation on n-dimensional grid [4], we prove that the extension k in k[x1, x2, ..., xn] / (f1(x1), ..., fn(xn)) has a primitive element if and only if at most one of the…

This paper examines order three elements of finite groups which normalize no nontrivial 2-subgroup. The motivation for finding such elements arises out of a problem in modular representation theory. The question of when these elements…

Let $n\ge 2$ be an integer and let $\mathbb F_q$ be the finite field with $q$ elements, where $q$ is a prime power. Given $\mathbb F_q$-affine hyperplanes $\mathcal A_1, \ldots, \mathcal A_n$ of $\mathbb F_{q^n}$ in general position, we…

In 2022, S.D. Cohen and the two authors introduced and studied the concept of $(r, n)$-freeness on finite cyclic groups $G$ for suitable integers $r, n$, which is an arithmetic way of capturing elements of special forms that lie in the…
