Triples and quadruples of consecutive squares or non-squares in a finite field

Stephen D. Cohen

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

Primitive element pairs with a prescribed trace in the cubic extension of a finite field

Andrew R. Booker, Stephen D. Cohen, Nicol Leong +1

We prove that for any prime power , the cubic extension of the finite field contains a primitive element such that $ξ+ξ^{-1}…

Rings and finite fields whose elements are sums or differences of tripotents and potents

Adel N. Abyzov, Stephen D. Cohen, Peter V. Danchev +1

We significantly strengthen results on the structure of matrix rings over finite fields and apply them to describe the structure of the so-called weakly -torsion clean rings. Sp…

Primitive elements with prescribed traces

Andrew R. Booker, Stephen D. Cohen, Nicol Leong +1

Given a prime power and a positive integer , let denote the finite field with elements. Also let be arbitrary members of the ground field $\…

Four consecutive primitive elements in a finite field

Tamiru Jarso, Tim Trudgian

For an odd prime power, we prove that there are always four consecutive primitive elements in the finite field when .

The trace of primitive and -primitive elements in finite fields, revisited

Stephen D. Cohen, Giorgos Kapetanakis

By definition primitive and -primitive elements of a finite field extension have order and , respectively. We have already shown that, with…
