New Commutative Semifields and Their Nuclei
نویسنده
چکیده
Commutative semifields in odd characteristic can be equivalently described by planar functions (also known as PN functions). We describe a method to construct a semifield which is canonically associated to a planar function and use it to derive information on the nuclei directly from the planar function. This is used to determine the nuclei of families of new commutative semifields of dimensions 9 and 12 in arbitrary odd characteristic.

Planar polynomials for commutative semifields with specified nuclei
We consider the implications of the equivalence of commutative semifields of odd order and planar Dembowski-Ostrom polynomials. This equivalence was outlined recently by Coulter and Henderson. In particular, following a more general statement concerning semifields we identify a form of planar Dembowski-Ostrom polynomial which must define a commutative semifield with the nuclei specified. Since ...
متن کاملNew commutative semifields
We introduce infinite families of perfect nonlinear DembowskiOstrom multinomials over F p2k where p is any odd prime. We prove that for k odd and p 6= 3 these PN functions define new commutative semifields (in part by studying the nuclei of these semifields). This implies that these functions are CCZ-inequivalent to all previously known PN mappings.
متن کاملCommutative semifields and symplectic spreads ✩
Commutative semifields are constructed by using their relationship with symplectic spreads. The number of pairwise nonisomorphic commutative semifield planes of even order N obtained in this manner is not bounded above by any polynomial in N .

متن کاملCommutative semifields of rank 2 over their middle nucleus
This article is about finite commutative semifields that are of rank 2 over their middle nucleus, the largest subset of elements that is a finite field. These semifields have a direct correspondence to certain flocks of the quadratic cone in PG(3, q) and to certain ovoids of the parabolic space Q(4, q). We shall consider these links, the known examples and non-existence results.
متن کاملInnovations in Incidence Geometry
In 1965 Knuth [4] showed that from a given finite semifield one can construct further semifields manipulating the corresponding cubical array, and obtain in total six semifields from the given one. In the case of a rank two commutative semifield (the semifields corresponding to a semifield flock) these semifields have been investigated in [1], providing a geometric connection between these six ...
