The Hermitian null-range of a matrix over a finite field

Abstract: Let

q

be a prime power. For

u = (u_{1}, d o t s, u_{n}), v = (v_{1}, d o t s, v_{n}) i n m a t h b b F_{q^{2}}^{n}

let

l a n g l e u, v a n g l e := s u m_{i = 1}^{n} u_{i}^{q} v_{i}

be the Hermitian form of

m a t h b b F_{q^{2}}^{n}

. Fix an

n i m e s n

matrix

M

over

m a t h b b F_{q^{2}}

. We study the case

k = 0

of the set

m a t h r m {N u m}_{k} (M) := l a n g l e u, M u a n g l e m i d u i n m a t h b b F_{q^{2}}, l a n g l e u, u a n g l e = k

. When

M

has coefficients in

m a t h b b F_{q}

we study the set

m a t h r m {N u m}_{0} (M)_{q} := l a n g l e u, M u a n g l e m i d u i n m a t h b b F_{q}^{n} s u b s e t e q m a t h b b F_{q}

. The set

m a t h r m {N u m}_{1} (M)

is the numerical range of

M

, previously introduced in a paper by Coons, Jenkins, Knowles, Luke and Rault (case

q

a prime

p e q u i v 3 p m o d 4

) and by myself (arbitrary

q

). We study in details

m a t h r m {N u m}_{0} (M)

and

m a t h r m {N u m}_{0} (M)_{q}

when

n = 2

. If

q

is even,

m a t h r m {N u m}_{0} (M)_{q}

is easily described for arbitrary

n

.
