Abstract: In a recent paper of the author with D. Dummit and H. Kisilevsky, we constructed a collection of matrices defined by quadratic residue symbols, termed "quadratic residue matrices", associated to the splitting behavior of prime ideals in a composite of quadratic extensions of $mathbbQ$, and proved a simple criterion characterizing such matrices. We then analyzed the analogous classes of matrices constructed from the cubic and quartic residue symbols for a set of prime ideals of $mathbbQ(sqrt-3)$ and $mathbbQ(i)$, respectively. In this paper, the goal is to construct and study the finite-field analogues of these residue matrices, the "$d$th-power residue matrices", using the general $d$th-power residue symbol over a finite field.
