Motivated by the recent work of Zhi-Wei Sun on determinants involving the Legendre symbol, in this paper, we study some matrices concerning subgroups of finite fields. For example, let $q\equiv 3\pmod 4$ be an odd prime power and let $\phi$…

In 2019, Zhi-Wei Sun posed an interesting conjecture on certain determinants with Legendre symbol entries. In this paper, by using the arithmetic properties of $p$-th cyclotomic field and the finite field $\mathbb{F}_p$, we confirm this…

For a prime power $q$, we study the distribution of determinent of matrices with restricted entries over a finite field $\mathbbm{F}_q$ of $q$ elements. More precisely, let $N_d (\mathcal{A}; t)$ be the number of $d \times d$ matrices with…

In this paper, with the help of the theory of matrices and finite fields we generalize Zolotarev's theorem to an arbitrary finite dimensional vector space over $\mathbb{F}_q$, where $\mathbb{F}_q$ denotes the finite field with $q$ elements.

Let $\Bbb F_q$ be the finite field with $q$ elements and let $p=\text{char}\,\Bbb F_q$. It was conjectured that for integers $e\ge 2$ and $1\le a\le pe-2$, the polynomial $X^{q-2}+X^{q^2-2}+\cdots+X^{q^a-2}$ is a permutation polynomial of…

Let $E \subseteq \mathbb{F}_q^2$ be a set in the 2-dimensional vector space over a finite field with $q$ elements, which satisfies $|E| > q$. There exist $x,y \in E$ such that $|E \cdot (y-x)| > q/2.$ In particular, $(E+E) \cdot (E-E) =…

Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be an arbitrary finite field of order $q$. In this article, we study $\det S$ for certain types of subsets $S$ in the ring $M_2(\mathbb F_q)$ of $2\times 2$ matrices with entries in $\mathbb F_q$. For $i\in \mathbb{F}_q$,…

Motivated by the works of L. Carlitz, R. Chapman and Z.-W. Sun on cyclotomic matrices, in this paper, we investigate certain cyclotomic matrices concerning the Jacobi sums over finite fields, which can be viewed as finite field analogues of…

In this paper, motivated by the work of Chapman, Vsemirnov and Sun et al., we investigate some arithmetic properties of the generalized Legendre matrices over finite fields. For example, letting $a_1,\cdots,a_{(q-1)/2}$ be all non-zero…

In this paper we resolve a conjecture of Zhi-Wei Sun concerning the integrality and arithmetic structure of certain trigonometric determinants. Our approach builds on techniques developed in our previous work, where trigonometric…

Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be the finite field with $q$ elements, where $q$ is a prime power and $n$ be a positive integer. In this paper, we explore the factorization of $f(x^{n})$ over $\mathbb{F}_q$, where $f(x)$ is an irreducible polynomial…

Let $n\ge 2$ be an integer and let $\mathbb F_q$ be the finite field with $q$ elements, where $q$ is a prime power. Given $\mathbb F_q$-affine hyperplanes $\mathcal A_1, \ldots, \mathcal A_n$ of $\mathbb F_{q^n}$ in general position, we…

Let $D_n(x;a)$ and $E_n(x;a)\in\mathbb F_q[x]$ be Dickson polynomials of first and second kind respectively, where $\mathbb F_q$ is a finite field with $q$ elements. In this article we show explicitly the irreducible factors these…

Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be the finite field of $q$ elements, and let $k\mid q-1$ be a positive integer. Let $f(x)=ax^2+bx+c$ be a quadratic polynomial in $\mathbb{F}_q[x]$ with $b^2-4ac\ne0$. In this paper, we show that if…

We find a formula for the number of permutation polynomials of degree q-2 over a finite field Fq, which has q elements, in terms of the permanent of a matrix. We write down an expression for the number of permutation polynomials of degree…

In this short note, we introduce an analogue of Wilson's theorem for all nonzero elements $a_1,a_2,...,a_{q-1}$ of a finite filed $\mathbb{F}$ with $|\mathbb{F}|=q\geq 3$, as follows: $$ \sum_{1\leq i_1< i_2<...< i_k\leq…

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 $\mathbb{F}_q$ be the finite field of $q$ elements and $a_1,a_2, \ldots, a_k, b\in \mathbb{F}_q$. We investigate $N_{\mathbb{F}_q}(a_1, a_2, \ldots,a_k;b)$, the number of ordered solutions $(x_1, x_2, \ldots,x_k)\in\mathbb{F}_q^k$ of…

There exists an absolute constant $\delta > 0$ such that for all $q$ and all subsets $A \subseteq \mathbb{F}_q$ of the finite field with $q$ elements, if $|A| > q^{2/3 - \delta}$, then \[ |(A-A)(A-A)| = |\{ (a -b) (c-d) : a,b,c,d \in A\}| >…

The problem of counting the $\mathbb{F}_q$-valued points of a variety has been well-studied from algebro-geometric, topological, and combinatorial perspectives. We explore a combinatorially flavored version of this problem studied by Anzis…
