Galois Towers over Non-prime Finite Fields

چکیده
In this paper we construct Galois towers with good asymptotic properties over any nonprime finite field F`; i.e., we construct sequences of function fields N = (N1 ⊂ N2 ⊂ · · · ) over F` of increasing genus, such that all the extensions Ni/N1 are Galois extensions and the number of rational places of these function fields grows linearly with the genus. The limits of the towers satisfy the same lower bounds as the best currently known lower bounds for the Ihara constant for non-prime finite fields. Towers with these properties are important for applications in various fields including coding theory and cryptography.

Towers of Function Fields over Non-prime Finite Fields
Over all non-prime finite fields, we construct some recursive towers of function fields with many rational places. Thus we obtain a substantial improvement on all known lower bounds for Ihara’s quantity A(`), for ` = p with p prime and n > 3 odd. A modular interpretation of the towers is given as well.
متن کاملSelmer groups and Mordell-Weil groups of elliptic curves over towers of function fields
In [12] and [13], Silverman discusses the problem of bounding the Mordell-Weil ranks of elliptic curves over towers of function fields. We first prove generalizations of the theorems of those two papers by a different method, allowing non-abelian Galois groups and removing the dependence on Tate’s conjectures. We then prove some theorems about the growth of Mordell-Weil ranks in towers of funct...
متن کاملStructure of finite wavelet frames over prime fields
This article presents a systematic study for structure of finite wavelet frames over prime fields. Let $p$ be a positive prime integer and $mathbb{W}_p$ be the finite wavelet group over the prime field $mathbb{Z}_p$. We study theoretical frame aspects of finite wavelet systems generated by subgroups of the finite wavelet group $mathbb{W}_p$.
متن کاملJacobi Sums, Fermat Jacobians, and Ranks of Abelian Varieties over Towers of Function Fields
1.1. Given an abelian variety A over a function field K = k(C) with C an absolutely irreducible, smooth, proper curve over a field k, it is natural to ask about the behavior of the Mordell-Weil group of A in the layers of a tower of fields over K. The simplest case, which is already very interesting, is when A is an elliptic curve, K = k(t) is a rational function field, and one considers the to...
متن کاملFinite Fields
This handout discusses finite fields: how to construct them, properties of elements in a finite field, and relations between different finite fields (including their Galois groups). We write Z/(p) and Fp interchangeably for the field of size p. Here is an executive summary of the main results. • Every finite field has prime power order. • For every prime power, there is a finite field of that o...
