Abstract: The concept of linear set in projective spaces over finite fields was introduced by Lunardon in 1999 and it plays central roles in the study of blocking sets, semifields, rank-distance codes and etc. A linear set with the largest possible cardinality and rank is called maximum scattered. Despite two decades of study, there are only a limited number of maximum scattered linear sets of a line $mathrmPG(1,q^n)$. In this paper, we provide a large family of new maximum scattered linear sets over $mathrmPG(1,q^n)$ for any even $ngeq6$ and odd $q$. In particular, the relevant family contains at least [ �egin{cases} leftlfloorfrac{q^t+1}{8rt} ight floor,& ext{ if }t otequiv 2pmod{4};\[8pt] leftlfloorfrac{q^t+1}{4rt(q^2+1)} ight floor,& ext{ if }tequiv 2pmod{4}, end{cases} ] inequivalent members for given $q=p^r$ and $n=2t>8$, where $p=mathrmchar(mathbb{F}_q)$. This is a great improvement of previous results: for given $q$ and $n>8$, the number of inequivalent maximum scattered linear sets of $mathrmPG(1,q^n)$ in all classes known so far, is smaller than $q^2$. Moreover, we show that there are a large number of new maximum rank-distance codes arising from the constructed linear sets.
