Coset-wise affine functions and cycle types of complete mappings

From MaRDI portal

Abstract: Let K be a finite field of characteristic p. We study a certain class of functions KightarrowK that agree with an mathbbFp-affine function KightarrowK on each coset of a given additive subgroup W of K - we call them W-coset-wise mathbbFp-affine functions of K. We show that these functions form a permutation group on K with the structure of an imprimitive wreath product and characterize which of them are complete mappings of K. As a consequence, we are able to provide various new examples of cycle types of complete mappings of K, including that K has a complete mapping moving all elements of K in one cycle if p>2.
