Abstract: We derive several existence results concerning cycle types and, more generally, the "mapping behavior" of complete mappings. Our focus is on so-called first-order cyclotomic mappings, which are functions on a finite field mathbbFq that fix 0 and restrict to the multiplication xmapstoaix by a fixed element aiinmathbbFq on each coset Ci of a given subgroup C of mathbbFqast. The gist of two of our main results is that as long as q is large enough relative to the index |mathbbFqast:C|, all cycle types of first-order cyclotomic permutations with only long cycles on mathbbFqast can be achieved through a complete mapping, as can all permutations of the cosets of C. Our third main result provides new examples of complete mappings f such that both f and its associated orthomorphism f+operatornameid permute the nonzero field elements in one cycle.
