This article investigates the existence of an $r$-primitive $k$-normal polynomial, defined as the minimal polynomial of an $r$-primitive $k$-normal element in $\mathbb{F}_{q^n}$, with a specified degree $n$ and two given coefficients over…

Following the approach by R. K\"otter and F. R. Kschischang, we study network codes as families of k-dimensional linear subspaces of a vector space F_q^n, q being a prime power and F_q the finite field with q elements. In particular,…

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…

For a quartic primitive CM field $K$, we say that a rational prime $p$ is {\it evil} if at least one of the abelian varieties with CM by $K$ reduces modulo a prime ideal $\gerp| p$ to a product of supersingular elliptic curves with the…

The notion of normal elements for finite fields extension has been generalized as k-normal elements by Huczynska et al. [3]. The number of k-normal elements for a fixed finite field extension has been calculated and estimated [3], and…

An element $\alpha \in \mathbb{F}_{q^n}$ is a normal element over $\mathbb{F}_q$ if the conjugates $\alpha^{q^i}$, $0 \leq i \leq n-1$, are linearly independent over $\mathbb{F}_q$. Hence a normal basis for $\mathbb{F}_{q^n}$ over…

Given a prime power $p^d$ with $p$ a prime and $d$ a positive integer, we classify the finite groups $G$ with $p^{2d}$ dividing $|G|$ in which all subgroups of order $p^d$ are complemented and the finite groups $G$ having a normal…

In this paper we will study integrability of distributions whose primitives are left regulated functions and locally or globally integrable in the Henstock--Kurzweil, Lebesgue or Riemann sense. Corresponding spaces of distributions and…

This is an introduction to the theory of normal bases of finite fields. The first few chapters cover a wide range of topics on the theory of normal bases of finite fields. Most standard definitions and results, including proofs are given.…

Let $q$ be a prime. We give an elementary proof of the fact that for any $k\in\mathbb{N}$, the proportion of $k$-element subsets of $\mathbb{Z}$ that contain a $q^{th}$ power modulo almost every prime, is zero. This result holds regardless…

Let $q\ne \pm1,v^2$ be a fixed integer, and let $x\geq 1$ be a large number. The least prime number $p \geq3 $ such that $q$ is a primitive root modulo $p$ is conjectured to be $p\ll (\log q)(\log \log q)^3),$ where $\gcd(p,q)=1$. This note…

Let F_q be the finite field of q elements. Let H be a multiplicative subgroup of F_q^*. For a positive integer k and element b\in F_q, we give a sharp estimate for the number of k-element subsets of H which sum to b.

There exists an absolute constant $C$ with the following property. Let $A \subseteq \mathbb{F}_p$ be a set in the prime order finite field with $p$ elements. Suppose that $|A| > C p^{5/8}$. The set \[ (A \pm A)(A \pm A) = \{(a_1 \pm…

We consider a finite group $G$ with a normal subgroup $N$ so that all elements of $G \setminus N$ have prime power order. We prove that if there is a prime $p$ so that all the elements in $G \setminus N$ have $p$-power order, then either…

We prove new mean value theorems for primes in arithmetic progressions to moduli larger than $x^{1/2}$. Our main result shows that the primes are equidistributed for a fixed residue class over all moduli of size $x^{1/2+\delta}$ with a…

Let $q>2$ be a prime power and $f={\tt x}^{q-2}+t{\tt x}^{q^2-q-1}$, where $t\in\Bbb F_q^*$. It was recently conjectured that $f$ is a permutation polynomial of $\Bbb F_{q^2}$ if and only if one of the following holds: (i) $t=1$, $q\equiv…

For any positive integers $q$, $n$, $m$ with $q$ being a prime power and $n \geq 5$, we establish a condition sufficient to ensure the existence of a primitive normal pair $(\epsilon,f(\epsilon))$ in $\mathbb{F}_{q^{n}}$ over…

Let $q\geq 1$ be any integer and let $ \epsilon \in [\frac{1}{11}, \frac{1}{2})$ be a given real number. In this short note, we prove that for all primes $p$ satisfying $$ p\equiv 1\pmod{q}, \quad \log\log p > \frac{\log…

In this note, we provide some results concerning the structure of a set $A\subseteq \mathbb{Z}_n^{\times}$, which has non-empty subset sums equally distributed modulo $n$. Here, $\mathbb{Z}_n^{\times}$ denotes the set which contains all the…

Let $G$ be a finite primitive permutation group on a set $\Omega$ and recall that the fixed point ratio of an element $x \in G$, denoted ${\rm fpr}(x)$, is the proportion of points in $\Omega$ fixed by $x$. Fixed point ratios in this…
