For a subgroup of $PGL(2,q)$ we show how some irreducible polynomials over $\mathbb{F}_q$ arise from the field of invariant rational functions. The proofs rely on two actions of $PGL(2,F)$, one on the projective line over a field $F$ and…

We establish expansion properties for suitably generic polynomials of degree $d$ in $d+1$ variables over finite fields. In particular, we show that if $P\in\mathbb{F}_q[x_1,\ldots,x_{d+1}]$ is a polynomial of degree $d$ coming from an…

The intersection distribution of a polynomial $f$ over finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ was recently proposed in Li and Pott (arXiv:2003.06678v1), which concerns the collective behaviour of a collection of polynomials $\{f(x)+cx \mid c \in…
