Let $q$ be a fixed odd prime. We show that a finite subset $B$ of integers, not containing any perfect $q^{th}$ power, contains a $q^{th}$ power modulo almost every prime if and only if $B$ corresponds to a blocking set (with respect to…

Let $q=p^k$ be a prime power, let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be a finite field and let $n\geq2$ be an integer. This note investigates the existence small primitive normal elements in finite field extensions $\mathbb{F}_{q^n}$. It is shown that a small…

Let $q$ be an odd prime power and write \[ \theta_q := \frac{\phi(q-1)}{q-1}. \] If $\theta_q < \tfrac{1}{3}$, or if $\theta_q = \tfrac{1}{3}$ and $q \notin \{7,13,19,25,37\}$, then the finite field $\F$ contains a pair of consecutive…

Let $q$ be an odd prime and $k$ be a natural number. We show that a finite subset of integers $S$ that does not contain any perfect $q^{th}$ power, contains a $q^{th}$ power residue modulo almost every natural numbers $N$ with at most $k$…

Let $F_q$ be a field with $q$ elements, where $q$ is a power of a prime number $p\geq 5$. For any integer $m\geq 2$ and $a\in F_q^*$ such that the polynomial $x^m-a$ is irreducible in $F_q[x]$, we combine two different methods to construct…

We consider the linear vector space formed by the elements of the finite fields $\mathbb{F}_q$ with $q=p^r$ over $\mathbb{F}_p$. Let ${a_1,\ldots,a_r}$ be a basis of this space. Then the elements $x$ of $\mathbb{F}_q$ have a unique…

For any fixed dimension $d \geq 3$ we construct a Nikodym set in $F_q^d$ of cardinality $q^d - (\frac{d-2}{\log 2} +1+o(1)) q^{d-1} \log q$ in the limit $q \to \infty$, when $q$ is an odd prime power. This improves upon the naive random…

Let $q$ be an odd prime and $B = \{b_{j}\}_{j=1}^{l}$ be a finite set of nonzero integers that does not contain a perfect $q^{th}$ power. We show that $B$ has a $q^{th}$ power modulo every prime $p \neq q$ and not dividing $\prod_{b\in B}…

For a finite set of non-zero natural numbers that contains at least one element different from 1 and the least common multiple of any of its subsets, there exists a subset of at least half of its members which has a common divisor larger…

Let $k \geq 2$, $q$ be an odd prime power, and $F \in \mathbb{F}_q[x_1, \ldots, x_k]$ be a polynomial. An $F$-Diophantine set over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ is a set $A \subset \mathbb{F}_q^*$ such that $F(a_1, a_2, \ldots, a_k)$ is a…

Let $r$, $n$ be positive integers, $k$ be a non-negative integer and $q$ be any prime power such that $r\mid q^n-1.$ An element $\alpha$ of the finite field $\mathbb{F}_{q^n}$ is called an {\it $r$-primitive} element, if its multiplicative…

We construct explicitly in any finite field of the form Fq[x]/(x^m-a) elements with multiplicative order at least 2^{(2m)^(1/2)}

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 show a deterministic algorithm for taking $r$-th roots over $\F_q$ without being given any $r$-th nonresidue, where $\F_q$ is a finite field with $q$ elements and $r$ is a small prime such that $r^2$ divides of $q-1$. As…

It is well known that constructing codes with good parameters is one of the most important and fundamental problems in coding theory. Though a great many of good codes have been produced, most of them are defined over alphabets of sizes…

We consider the linear vector space formed by the elements of the finite fields $\mathbb{F}_q$ with $q=p^r$ over $\mathbb{F}_p$. Let $\{a_1,\ldots,a_r\}$ be a basis of this space. Then the elements $x$ of $\mathbb{F}_q$ have a unique…

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…

We classify those finite fields $\mathbb{F}_q$, for $q$ a power of some fixed prime number, whose members are the sum of an $n$-potent element with $n>1$ and a 4-potent element. It is shown that there are precisely ten non-trivial pairs…

Let $q$ be a prime power, let $\mathbb F_q$ be the finite field with $q$ elements and let $d_1, \ldots, d_k$ be positive integers. In this note we explore the number of solutions $(z_1, \ldots, z_k)\in\overline{\mathbb F}_q^k$ of the…

We prove that if a subset of a $d$-dimensional vector space over a finite field with $q$ elements has more than $q^{d-1}$ elements, then it determines all the possible directions. If a set has more than $q^k$ elements, it determines a…
