It is a classical result that prime numbers of the form x2 + ny2 can be characterized via class field theory for an infinite set of n. In this paper, we derive the function field analogue of the classical result. Then, we apply an effective version of the Chebotarev density theorem to bound the degree of the smallest irreducible of the form x2 - dy2, where x, y, and d are elements of a polynomial ring over a finite field.

We prove quantitative upper bounds for the number of quadratic twists of a given elliptic curve E/Fq(C) over a function field over a finite field that have rank ≥ 2, and for their average rank. The main tools are constructions and results of Katz and uniform versions of the Chebotarev density theorem for varieties over finite fields. Moreover, we conditionally derive a bound in some cases where the degree of the conductor is unbounded.

AbstractThis paper establishes a version of the Chebotarev density theorem in which number fields are replaced by 3-manifolds.

AbstractWe study a function field analog of Chebyshev’s bias. Our results, as well as their proofs, are similar to those of Rubinstein and Sarnak in the case of the rational number field. Following Rubinstein and Sarnak, we introduce the grand simplicity hypothesis (GSH), a certain hypothesis on the inverse zeros of Dirichlet L-series of a polynomial ring over a finite field. Under this hypothesis, we investigate how primes, that is, irreducible monic polynomials in a polynomial ring over a finite field, are distributed in a given set of residue classes modulo a fixed monic polynomial. In particular, we prove under the GSH that, like the number field case, primes are biased toward quadratic nonresidues. Unlike the number field case, the GSH can be proved to hold in some cases and can be violated in some other cases. Also, under the GSH, we give the necessary and sufficient conditions for which primes are unbiased and describe certain central limit behaviors as the degree of modulus under consideration tends to infinity, all of which have been established in the number field case by Rubinstein and Sarnak.

Let K be an algebraic function field over a finite field of constants of characteristic greater than 2. Let W be a set of non-archimedean primes of K, let [Formula: see text]. Then for any finite set S of primes of K there exists an infinite set W of primes of K containing S, with the property that OK,S has a Diophantine definition over OK,W.

Let [Formula: see text] be a smooth projective algebraic curve of genus [Formula: see text], over the finite field [Formula: see text]. A classical result of H. Martens states that the Brill–Noether locus of line bundles [Formula: see text] in [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] is of dimension at most [Formula: see text], under conditions that hold when such an [Formula: see text] is both effective and special. We show that the number of such [Formula: see text] that are rational over [Formula: see text] is bounded above by [Formula: see text], with an explicit constant [Formula: see text] that grows exponentially with [Formula: see text]. Our proof uses the Weil estimates for function fields, and is independent of Martens’ theorem. We apply this bound to give a precise lower bound of the form [Formula: see text] for the probability that a line bundle in [Formula: see text] is base point free. This gives an effective version over finite fields of the usual statement that a general line bundle of degree [Formula: see text] is base point free. This is applicable to the author’s work on fast Jacobian group arithmetic for typical divisors on curves.

Abstract Let 𝔽 be the finite field of order q 2. It is sometimes attributed to Serre that any curve 𝔽-covered by the Hermitian curve H q + 1 : y q + 1 = x q + x ${{\mathcal{H}}_{q+1}}:{{y}^{q+1}}={{x }^{q}}+x$ is also 𝔽-maximal. For prime numbers q we show that every 𝔽-maximal curve x $\mathcal{x}$ of genus g ≥ 2 with | Aut(𝒳) | > 84(g − 1) is Galois-covered by H q + 1 . ${{\mathcal{H}}_{q+1}}.$ The hypothesis on | Aut(𝒳) | is sharp, since there exists an 𝔽-maximal curve x $\mathcal{x}$ for q = 71 of genus g = 7 with | Aut(𝒳) | = 84(7 − 1) which is not Galois-covered by the Hermitian curve H 72 . ${{\mathcal{H}}_{72}}.$

A magic square M M over an integral domain D D is a 3 × 3 3\times 3 matrix with entries from D D such that the elements from each row, column, and diagonal add to the same sum. If all the entries in M M are perfect squares in D D , we call M M a magic square of squares over D D . In 1984, Martin LaBar raised an open question: “Is there a magic square of squares over the ring Z \mathbb {Z} of the integers which has all the nine entries distinct?” We approach to answering a similar question when D D is a finite field. We claim that for any odd prime p p , a magic square over Z p \mathbb Z_p can only hold an odd number of distinct entries. Corresponding to LaBar’s question, we show that there are infinitely many prime numbers p p such that, over Z p \mathbb Z_p , magic squares of squares with nine distinct elements exist. In addition, if p ≡ 1 ( mod 120 ) p\equiv 1\pmod {120} , there exist magic squares of squares over Z p \mathbb Z_p that have exactly 3, 5, 7, or 9 distinct entries respectively. We construct magic squares of squares using triples of consecutive quadratic residues derived from twin primes.

AbstractLet k = Fq be a finite field of characteristic p with q elements and let K be a function field of one variable over k. Consider an elliptic curve E defined over K. We determine how often the reduction of this elliptic curve to a prime ideal is cyclic. This is done by generalizing a result of Bilharz to a more general form of Artin's primitive roots problem formulated by R. Murty.
