Non abelian bent functions

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: Perfect nonlinear functions from a finite group G to another one H are those functions f:GightarrowH such that for all nonzero alphainG, the derivative dalphaf:xmapstof(alphax)f(x)1 is balanced. In the case where both G and H are Abelian groups, f:GightarrowH is perfect nonlinear if and only if f is bent i.e for all nonprincipal character chi of H, the (discrete) Fourier transform of chicircf has a constant magnitude equals to |G|. In this paper, using the theory of linear representations, we exhibit similar bentness-like characterizations in the cases where G and/or H are (finite) non Abelian groups. Thus we extend the concept of bent functions to the framework of non Abelian groups.
