Lineare Abbildungen eines Körpers, welche Minimalpolynome erhalten (Q801972)

The authors prove the following results: Let \(K\subseteq L\) be a Galois extension of a field \(K\) and \(f\) be a \(K\)-linear mapping of \(L\) to itself with the property that \(x\) and \(f(x)\) have the same minimal polynomial over \(K\) for all \(x\in L\). Then \(f\) lies in the Galois group of \(L\) over \(K\) except when \(K= \mathrm{GF}(2)\) and \(L\) is \(\mathrm{GF}(8)\), \(\mathrm{GF}(16)\) or \(\mathrm{GF}(32)\). Let \(G_n\) be the group of all \(\mathrm{GF}(2)\)-linear mappings \(f\) of \(L = \mathrm{GF}(2^n)\) to itself with the property that \(x\) and \(f(x)\) have the same minimal polynomial over \(\mathrm{GF}(2)\) for all \(x\in\mathrm{GF}(2^n)\). Then \(G_n\) is a dihedral group of order \(2n\) \((n=3,4\) or \(5)\) and this contains the Galois group of \(L\;|\;K\) as a cyclic normal subgroup of index \(2\).
