Abstract: Linearized polynomials have attracted a lot of attention because of their applications in both geometric and algebraic areas. Let $q$ be a prime power, $n$ be a positive integer and $sigma$ be a generator of $mathrmGal(mathbb{F}_{q^n}colonmathbb{F}_q)$. In this paper we provide closed formulas for the coefficients of a $sigma$-trinomial $f$ over $mathbb{F}_{q^n}$ which ensure that the dimension of the kernel of $f$ equals its $sigma$-degree, that is linearized polynomials with maximum kernel. As a consequence, we present explicit examples of linearized trinomials with maximum kernel and characterize those having $sigma$-degree $3$ and $4$. Our techniques rely on the tools developed in [24]. Finally, we apply these results to investigate a class of rank metric codes introduced in [8], to construct quasi-subfield polynomials and cyclic subspace codes, obtaining new explicit constructions to the conjecture posed in [37].
