On a conjecture on permutation rational functions over finite fields

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: Let p be a prime and n be a positive integer, and consider fb(X)=X+(XpX+b)1inBbbFp(X), where binBbbFpn is such that extTrpn/p(b)e0. It is known that (i) fb permutes BbbFpn for p=2,3 and all nge1; (ii) for p>3 and n=2, fb permutes BbbFp2 if and only if extTrp2/p(b)=pm1; and (iii) for p>3 and nge5, fb does not permute BbbFpn. It has been conjectured that for p>3 and n=3,4, fb does not permute BbbFpn. We prove this conjecture for sufficiently large p.
