AbstractWe show that the proportion of polynomials of degree n over the finite field with q elements, which have a divisor of every degree below n, is given by cqn−1 + O(n−2). More generally, we give an asymptotic formula for the proportion of polynomials, whose set of degrees of divisors has no gaps of size greater than m. To that end, we first derive an improved estimate for the proportion of polynomials of degree n, all of whose non-constant divisors have degree greater than m. In the limit as q → ∞, these results coincide with corresponding estimates related to the cycle structure of permutations.

For a finite commutative ring R and a positive integer k ≥ 2, we construct an iteration digraph G(R, k) whose vertex set is R and for which there is a directed edge from a ∈ R to b ∈ R if b = ak. In this paper, we investigate the iteration digraphs G(𝔽prCn, k) of 𝔽prCn, the group ring of a cyclic group Cn over a finite field 𝔽pr. We study the cycle structure of G(𝔽prCn, k), and explore the symmetric digraphs. Finally, we obtain necessary and sufficient conditions on 𝔽prCn and k such that G(𝔽prCn, k) is semiregular.

AbstractLetting p vary over all primes and E vary over all elliptic curves over the finite field 𝔽p, we study the frequency to which a given group G arises as a group of points E(𝔽p). It is well known that the only permissible groups are of the form Gm,k:=ℤ/mℤ×ℤ/mkℤ. Given such a candidate group, we let M(Gm,k) be the frequency to which the group Gm,karises in this way. Previously, C.David and E. Smith determined an asymptotic formula for M(Gm,k) assuming a conjecture about primes in short arithmetic progressions. In this paper, we prove several unconditional bounds for M(Gm,k), pointwise and on average. In particular, we show thatM(Gm,k) is bounded above by a constant multiple of the expected quantity when m ≤ kA and that the conjectured asymptotic for M(Gm,k) holds for almost all groups Gm,k when m ≤ k1/4-∈. We also apply our methods to study the frequency to which a given integer N arises as a group order #E(𝔽p).

Titchmarsh Theorem

AbstractWe extend to the setting of polynomials over a finite field certain estimates for short Kloosterman sums originally due to Karatsuba. Our estimates are then used to establish some uniformity of distribution results in the ring [x]/M(x) for collections of polynomials either of the form f−1g−1 or of the form f−1g−1 + afg, where f and g are polynomials coprime to M and of very small degree relative to M, and a is an arbitrary polynomial. We also give estimates for short Kloosterman sums where the summation runs over products of two irreducible polynomials of small degree. It is likely that this result can be used to give an improvement of the Brun-Titchmarsh theorem for polynomials over finite fields.

Almost Perfect Nonlinear Functions

Generalized almost perfect nonlinear (GAPN) functions were defined to satisfy some generalizations of basic properties of almost perfect nonlinear (APN) functions for even characteristic. In particular, on finite fields of even characteristic, GAPN functions coincide with APN functions. In this paper, we study monomial GAPN functions for odd characteristic. We give monomial GAPN functions whose algebraic degree are maximum or minimum on a finite field of odd characteristic. Moreover, we define a generalization of exceptional APN functions and give typical examples.

AbstractWe study Lp → Lr restriction estimates for algebraic varieties V in the case when restriction operators act on radial functions in the finite field setting. We show that if the varieties V lie in odd dimensional vector spaces over finite fields, then the conjectured restriction estimates are possible for all radial test functions. In addition, assuming that the varieties V are defined in even dimensional spaces and have few intersection points with the sphere of zero radius, we also obtain the conjectured exponents for all radial test functions.

In order to extend the results of [Formula: see text] in [P. Das, The number of permutation polynomials of a given degree over a finite field, Finite Fields Appl. 8(4) (2002) 478–490], where [Formula: see text] is a prime, to arbitrary finite fields [Formula: see text], we find a formula for the number of permutation polynomials of degree [Formula: see text] over a finite field [Formula: see text], which has [Formula: see text] elements, in terms of the permanent of a matrix. We write down an expression for the number of permutation polynomials of degree [Formula: see text] over a finite field [Formula: see text], using the permanent of a matrix whose entries are [Formula: see text]th roots of unity and using this we obtain a nontrivial bound for the number. Finally, we provide a formula for the number of permutation polynomials of degree [Formula: see text] less than [Formula: see text].

Form Approach

We consider homogeneous linear recurring sequences over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_{q}$, based on an irreducible characteristic polynomial of degree $n$ and order $m$. Let $t=(q^{n}-1)/ m$. We use quadratic forms over finite fields to give the exact number of occurrences of zeros of the sequence within its least period when $t$ has q-adic weight 2. Consequently we prove that the cardinality of the set of zeros for sequences from this category is equal to two.

Abstract We study the cycle structure of permutations $$F(x)=x+\gamma f(x)$$ F ( x ) = x + γ f ( x ) on $$\mathbb {F}_{q^n}$$ F q n , where $$f :\mathbb {F}_{q^n} \rightarrow \mathbb {F}_q$$ f : F q n → F q . We show that for a 1-homogeneous function f the cycle structure of F can be determined by calculating the cycle structure of certain induced mappings on parallel lines of $$\gamma \mathbb {F}_q$$ γ F q . Using this observation we describe explicitly the cycle structure of two families of permutations over $$\mathbb {F}_{q^2}$$ F q 2 : $$x+\gamma {{\,\mathrm{Tr}\,}}(x^{2q-1})$$ x + γ Tr ( x 2 q - 1 ) , where $$q\equiv -1 \pmod 3$$ q ≡ - 1 ( mod 3 ) and $$\gamma \in \mathbb {F}_{q^2}$$ γ ∈ F q 2 , with $$\gamma ^3=-\frac{1}{27}$$ γ 3 = - 1 27 and $$x+\gamma {{\,\mathrm{Tr}\,}}\left( x^{\frac{2^{2s-1}+3\cdot 2^{s-1}+1}{3}}\right) $$ x + γ Tr x 2 2 s - 1 + 3 · 2 s - 1 + 1 3 , where $$q=2^s$$ q = 2 s , s odd and $$\gamma \in \mathbb {F}_{q^2}$$ γ ∈ F q 2 , with $$\gamma ^{(q+1)/3}=1$$ γ ( q + 1 ) / 3 = 1 .

Abstract Let 𝓧 be the nonsingular model of a plane curve of type yn = f(x) over the finite field F of order q2, where f(x) is a separable polynomial of degree coprime to n. If the number of F-rational points of 𝓧 attains the Hasse–Weil bound, then the condition that n divides q+1 is equivalent to the solubility of f(x) in F; see [20]. In this paper, we investigate this condition for f(x) = xℓ(xm+1).
