TOPIC: Polynomials over finite fields: an index approach
LOCATION: EIT 3142
INVITED BY: Guang Gong
ABSTRACT: The degree of a polynomial is an important parameter to study many problems on polynomials over finite fields. Recently, a new notion of the index of a polynomial over a finite field is introduced to study the distribution of permutation polynomials over finite fields. This parameter also turns out to be very useful in studying value set size bounds, character sum bounds, among others. In this talk I will introduce this new index approach to study polynomials over finite fields and report some recent results on several specific problems.

The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land granted to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is centralized within our Office of Indigenous Relations.
