Some classes of permutation pentanomials

Zhiguo Ding, Michael E. Zieve

For each prime p other than 3, and each power q=p^k, we present two large classes of permutation polynomials over F_{q^2} of the form X^r B(X^{q-1}) which have at most five terms,…

Monodromy groups of indecomposable coverings of bounded genus

Danny Neftin, Michael E. Zieve

For each nonnegative integer , we classify the ramification types and monodromy groups of indecomposable coverings of complex curves where has genus , under t…

On sums of powers of consecutive squares over finite fields, and sums of distinct values of polynomials

Zhiguo Ding, Michael E. Zieve

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 an…

Determination of hyperovals by lines through a few points

Zhiguo Ding, Michael E. Zieve

If S is a set of q+2 points in P^2(F_q) such that some point of S is not on any line containing two other points of S, then in suitable coordinates S has the form S_f:={(c:f(c):1)…

Constructing permutation polynomials using generalized Redei functions

Zhiguo Ding, Michael E. Zieve

We determine all permutations in two large classes of polynomials over finite fields, where the construction of the polynomials in each class involves the denominators of a class o…
