On the generalized distributive set of a finite nearfield (Q2333347)

Let \(R\) be a Dickson nearfield. For a given pair \((\alpha, \beta) \in R^2\) the author investigates the generalized distributive set \(D(\alpha, \beta) = \{\lambda \in R | (\alpha+\beta)\circ\lambda = \alpha\circ\lambda+\beta\circ\lambda\}\) where \(\circ\) is the multiplication in \(R\). In general \(D(\alpha, \beta)\) is not a subfield of the finite field \(\mathbb{F}_{q^n}\). The author studies \(R\)-dimension, \(R\)-basis, seed sets and seed number of \(R\)-subgroups of the Beidleman near-vector spaces \(R^m\) where \(m\) is a positive integer. He also determines the maximal \(R\)-dimension of \(gen(v_1, v_2)\), where \(gen(v_1, v_2)\) is the smallest \(R\)-subgroup containing \(v_1, v_2 \in R^m\).
