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…

The translate and line properties for 2-primitive elements in quadratic extensions

Stephen D. Cohen, Giorgos Kapetanakis

Let be integers and be any prime power such that . We say that the extension possesses the line property for -primit…

Finite field extensions with the line or translate property for -primitive elements

Stephen D. Cohen, Giorgos Kapetanakis

Let be integers and be any prime power such that . We say that the extension possesses the line property for -primit…

A Swan-like note for a family of binary pentanomials

Giorgos Kapetanakis

In this note, we employ the techniques of Swan (Pacific J. Math. 12(3): 1099-1106, 1962) with the purpose of studying the parity of the number of the irreducible factors of the pen…

Further results on the Morgan-Mullen conjecture

Theodoulos Garefalakis, Giorgos Kapetanakis

Let be the finite field of characteristic with elements and its extension of degree . The conjecture of Morgan and Mullen asserts the e…
