We show that Reed-Solomon codes of dimension $k$ and block length $n$ over any finite field $\mathbb{F}$ can be deterministically list decoded from agreement $\sqrt{(k-1)n}$ in time $\text{poly}(n, \log |\mathbb{F}|)$. Prior to this work,…

In this paper we improve our previous results on classification of groups of points on abelian varieties over finite fields. The classification is given in terms of the Weil polynomial of abelian varieties in a given $k$-isogeny class.

In this note, a criterion for a class of binomials to be permutation polynomials is proposed. As a consequence, many classes of binomial permutation polynomials and monomial complete permutation polynomials are obtained. The exponents in…

Let $k$ be a field and let $V$ be a $k$-vector space of dimension $d$. Let $G \subseteq GL(V)$ be a finite group. Let $r = \dim_k (V^*)^G$. Assume $r \geq 1$. Let $R = k[V]^G$ be the ring of invariants of $G$. Let $H_R(n) =…

We put forward a proof of Solomon's rule, in terms of matrices, for multiplication in the descent algebra of the symmetric group. Our proof exploits the graphs that we can obtain from all the subsets of the set of transpositions,…

Evaluating a polynomial on a set of points is a fundamental task in computer algebra. In this work, we revisit a particular variant called trimmed multipoint evaluation: given an $n$-variate polynomial with bounded individual degree $d$ and…

Let $\mathbb{F}_{q}$ be the finite field of characteristic $p$ containing $q = p^{r}$ elements and $f(x)=ax^{n} + x^{m}$ a binomial with coefficients in this field. If some conditions on the gcd of $n-m$ an $q-1$ are satisfied then this…

It is proved that for any finite dimensional representation of a prime order group over the field of rational numbers, polynomial invariants of degree at most $3$ separate the orbits. A result providing an upper degree bound for separating…

In this paper, we start by giving the definitions and basic facts about hyperoctahedral number system. There is a natural correspondence between the integers expressed in the latter and the elements of the hyperoctahedral group when we use…

A large class of MDS linear codes is constructed. These codes are endowed with an efficient decoding algorithm. Both the definition of the codes and the design of their decoding algorithm only require from Linear Algebra methods, making…

Let $n>1$ and let $R$ be a commutative ring with identity $1\ne 0$ and $R[x_1,\ldots,x_n]^n$ the set of all $n$-tuples of polynomials of the form $(f_1,\ldots,f_n),$ where $f_1,\ldots,f_n\in R[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$. We call these $n$-tuples…

Fix a positive integer $d$ and let $\Gamma_d$ be the class of finite groups without sections isomorphic to the alternating group $A_d$. The groups in $\Gamma_d$ were studied by Babai, Cameron and P\'{a}lfy in the 1980s and they determined…

Hayes equivalence is defined on monic polynomials over a finite field $\fq$ in terms of the prescribed leading coefficients and the residue classes modulo a given monic polynomial $Q$. We study the distribution of the number of zeros in a…

A permutation is called {\it {block-wise simple}} if it contains no interval of the form $p_1\oplus p_2$ or $p_1 \ominus p_2$. We present this new set of permutations and explore some of its combinatorial properties. We present a generating…
