Abstract: We give new characterizations of the algebra mathscrLn(mathbbFqn) formed by all linearized polynomials over the finite field mathbbFqn after briefly surveying some known ones. One isomorphism we construct is between mathscrLn(mathbbFqn) and the composition algebra mathbbFqnveeotimesmathbbFqmathbbFqn. The other isomorphism we construct is between mathscrLn(mathbbFqn) and the so-called Dickson matrix algebra mathscrDn(mathbbFqn). We also further study the relations between a linearized polynomial and its associated Dickson matrix, generalizing a well-known criterion of Dickson on linearized permutation polynomials. Adjugate polynomial of a linearized polynomial is then introduced, and connections between them are discussed. Both of the new characterizations can bring us more simple approaches to establish a special form of representations of linearized polynomials proposed recently by several authors. Structure of the subalgebra mathscrLn(mathbbFqm) which are formed by all linearized polynomials over a subfield mathbbFqm of mathbbFqn where m|n are also described.
