Quadratic APN functions as subspaces of alternating bilinear forms
نویسنده
چکیده
In this note we illuminate and apply the equivalence of quadratic APN functions to certain subspaces of alternating bilinear forms. These subspaces can be characterized by the rank-distance of the dual subspace, or equivalently , as the subspaces of 2 F m 2 avoiding the variety of elements of rank 2. Or, in the geometric language, as subspaces external (or skew) to the line Grassmannian.

Bilinear Forms
The geometry of Rn is controlled algebraically by the dot product. We will abstract the dot product on Rn to a bilinear form on a vector space and study algebraic and geometric notions related to bilinear forms (especially the concept of orthogonality in all its manifestations: orthogonal vectors, orthogonal subspaces, and orthogonal bases). Section 1 defines a bilinear form on a vector space a...
متن کاملIsomorphisms and Automorphisms of Extensions of Bilinear Dimensional Dual Hyperovals and Quadratic APN Functions
In [5] an extension construction of (n+1)-dimensional dual hyperovals using n-dimensional bilinear dual hyperovals was introduced. Related to this construction, is a construction of APN functions in dimension n+ 1 using two APN functions in dimension n. In this paper we show that the isomorphism problem for the (n + 1)-dimensional extensions can be reduced to the isomorphism problem of the init...
متن کاملSymmetric multilinear forms and polarization of polynomials
We study a generalization of the classical correspondence between homogeneous quadratic polynomials, quadratic forms, and symmetric/alternating bilinear forms to forms in n variables. The main tool is combinatorial polarization, and the approach is applicable even when n! is not invertible in the underlying field.
متن کاملGalois Extensions and Subspaces of Alternating Bilinear Forms with Special Rank Properties Rod Gow and Rachel Quinlan
Let K be a field admitting a cyclic Galois extension of degree n. The main result of this paper is a decomposition theorem for the space of alternating bilinear forms defined on a vector space of odd dimension n over K. We show that this space of forms is the direct sum of (n− 1)/2 subspaces, each of dimension n, and the non-zero elements in each subspace have constant rank defined in terms of ...
متن کامل-Valued Quadratic Forms and Quaternary Sequence Families
In this paper, -valued quadratic forms defined on a vector space over are studied. A classification of such forms is established, distinguishing -valued quadratic forms only by their rank and whether the associated bilinear form is alternating. This result is used to compute the distribution of certain exponential sums, which occur frequently in the analysis of quaternary codes and quaternary s...
