Let $\F$ be the finite field of odd prime power order $q$, We find explicit expressions for the number of triples $\{\al-1,\al,\al+1 \}$ of consecutive non-zero squares in $\F$ and similarly for the number of triples of consecutive…

For $q$ an odd prime power with $q>169$ we prove that there are always three consecutive primitive elements in the finite field $\mathbb{F}_{q}$. Indeed, there are precisely eleven values of $q \leq 169$ for which this is false. For $4\leq…

For $q$ an odd prime power, we prove that there are always four consecutive primitive elements in the finite field $\mathbb{F}_{q}$ when $q> 2401$.

In this article, we establish a sufficient condition for the existence of a primitive element $\alpha \in {\mathbb{F}_{q^n}}$ such that the element $\alpha+\alpha^{-1}$ is also a primitive element of ${\mathbb{F}_{q^n}},$ and…

Let $q$ be a prime power and $n, r$ integers such that $r\mid q^n-1$. An element of $\mathbb{F}_{q^n}$ of multiplicative order $(q^n-1)/r$ is called \emph{$r$-primitive}. For any odd prime power $q$, we show that there exists a…

We prove that for any prime power $q\notin\{3,4,5\}$, the cubic extension $\mathbb{F}_{q^3}$ of the finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ contains a primitive element $\xi$ such that $\xi+\xi^{-1}$ is also primitive, and…

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…

By definition primitive and $2$-primitive elements of a finite field extension $\mathbb{F}_{q^n}$ have order $q^n-1$ and $(q^n-1)/2$, respectively. We have already shown that, with minor reservations, there exists a primitive element and a…

In this note we construct a series of small subsets containing a non-d-th power element in a finite field by applying certain bounds on incomplete character sums. Precisely, let $h=\lfloor q^{\delta}\rfloor>1$ and $d\mid q^h-1$. Let $r$ be…

Given a prime power $q$ and a positive integer $n$, let $\mathbb{F}_{q^{n}}$ denote the finite field with $q^n$ elements. Also let $a,b$ be arbitrary members of the ground field $\mathbb{F}_{q}$. We investigate the existence of a non-zero…

Given $m, n, q\in \mathbb{N}$ such that $q$ is a prime power and $m\geq 3$, $a\in \mathbb{F}_q$, we establish a sufficient condition for the existence of primitive pair $(\alpha, f(\alpha))$ in $\mathbb{F}_{q^m}$ such that $\alpha$ is…

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…

Given $\mathbb{F}_{q^{n}}$, a field with $q^n$ elements, where $q $ is a prime power and $n$ is positive integer. For $r_1,r_2,m_1,m_2 \in \mathbb{N}$, $k_1,k_2 \in \mathbb{N}\cup \{0\}$, a rational function $F = \frac{F_1}{F_2}$ in…

For each odd prime power q, and each integer k, we determine the sum of the k-th powers of all elements x in F_q for which both x and x+1 are squares in F_q^*. We also solve the analogous problem when one or both of x and x+1 is a…

Let $q$ be an even prime power and $m\geq2$ an integer. By $\mathbb{F}_q$, we denote the finite field of order $q$ and by $\mathbb{F}_{q^m}$ its extension degree $m$. In this paper we investigate the existence of a primitive normal pair…

We prove that for all $q>61$, every non-zero element in the finite field $\mathbb{F}_{q}$ can be written as a linear combination of two primitive roots of $\mathbb{F}_{q}$. This resolves a conjecture posed by Cohen and Mullen.

Let $r,n>1$ be integers and $q$ be any prime power $q$ such that $r\mid q^n-1$. We say that the extension $\mathbb{F}_{q^n}/\mathbb{F}_q$ possesses the line property for $r$-primitive elements property if, for every…

We prove that any prime $p$ satisfying $\phi(p-1)\leq (p-1)/4$ contains two consecutive quadratic non-residues modulo $p$ neither of which is a primitive root modulo $p$.

Let $q, n, m \in \mathbb{N}$ such that $q$ is a prime power, $m \geq 3$ and $a \in \mathbb{F}$. We establish a sufficient condition for the existence of a primitive normal pair ($\alpha$, $f(\alpha)$) in $\mathbb{F}_{q^m}$ over…

For a finite field $\mathbf{F}_{q^r}$ with fixed $q$ and $r$ sufficiently large, we prove the existence of a primitive element outside of a set of $r$ many affine hyperplanes for $q=4$ and $q=5$. This complements earlier results by…
