Non-isomorphic subfields of the BM and GGS maximal function fields
Abstract
In 2016 Tafazolian et al. introduced new families of -maximal function fields and arising as subfields of the first generalized GK function field (GGS). In this way the authors found new examples of maximal function fields that are not isomorphic to subfields of the Hermitian function field. In this paper we construct analogous function fields and as subfields of the second generalized GK function field (BM) and determine their automorphism groups. Using that the automorphism group is an invariant under isomorphism, we show that the function fields and , as well as and , are not isomorphic unless divides and divides . In other words, the difference between the BM and GGS function fields can be found again at the level of the subfields that we consider.
