An estimate for incomplete mixed character sums and applications

Let $q$ be a prime power and $m>1$ be any integer. Let $\mathbb F_{q^m}$ be the finite field of order $q^m$ and $θ\in\mathbb F_{q^m}$ be such that $\mathbb F_{q^m} = \mathbb F(θ)$. We obtain a nontrivial bound for the mixed character sum $\sum_{x \in\mathbb F}χ(θ+x)ψ(x)$, where $χ$ and $ψ$ are multiplicative and additive characters of $\mathbb F_{q^m}$ and $\mathbb F$, respectively, using function field methods. As an application of our main result, we prove that for fixed $m$ and sufficiently large prime powers $q$, that satisfy certain conditions, $\mathbb F_{q^m}/\mathbb F$ possesses the weak line property for primitive normal elements. In particular, our result is a strengthening of existing results.

Normal and primitive normal elements with prescribed traces in intermediate extensions of finite fields

In this article, we study the existence and distribution of elements in finite field extensions with prescribed traces in several intermediate extensions that are also either normal or primitive normal. In the former case, we fully characterize the conditions under which such elements exist and provide an explicit enumeration of these elements. In the latter case we provide asymptotic results.

Primitive normal pairs with prescribed traces over finite fields

Let $q$ be a positive integral power of some prime $p$ and $\mathbb{F}_{q^m}$ be a finite field with $q^m$ elements for some $m \in \mathbb{N}$. Here we establish a sufficient condition for the existence of primitive normal pairs of the type $(ε, f(ε))$ in $\mathbb{F}_{q^m}$ over $\mathbb{F}_{q}$ with two prescribed traces, $Tr_{{\mathbb{F}_{q^m}}/{\mathbb{F}_q}}(ε)=a$ and $Tr_{{\mathbb{F}_{q^m}}/{\mathbb{F}_q}}(f(ε))=b$, where $f(x) \in \mathbb{F}_{q^m}(x)$ is a rational function with some restrictions and $a, b \in \mathbb{F}_q$. Furthermore, for $q=5^k$, $m \geq 9$ and rational functions with degree sum 4, we explicitly find at most 12 fields in which the desired pair may not exist.

Primitive normal pairs of elements with one prescribed trace

Let $q, n, m \in \mathbb{N}$ such that $q$ is a prime power, $m \geq 3$ and $a \in \mathbb{F}$. We establish a sufficient condition for the existence of a primitive normal pair ($α$, $f(α)$) in $\mathbb{F}_{q^m}$ over $\mathbb{F}_{q}$ such that Tr$_{\mathbb{F}_{q^m}/\mathbb{F}_{q}}(α^{-1})=a$, where $f(x) \in \mathbb{F}_{q^m}(x)$ is a rational function with degree sum $n$. In particular, for $q=5^k, ~k \geq 5$ and degree sum $n=4$, we explicitly find at most 11 choices of $(q, m)$ where existence of such pairs is not guaranteed.

Primitive normal Values of rational functions with one prescribed norm and trace over finite fields

Let $q, n, m \in \mathbb{N}$ be such that $q$ is a prime power and $a, b \in \mathbb{F}$. In this article we establish a sufficient condition for the existence of a primitive normal pair $(α, f(α)) \in \mathbb{F}_{q^m}$ over $\mathbb{F}$ with a prescribed primitive norm $a$ and a non-zero trace $b$ over $\mathbb{F}$ of $α$, where $f(x) \in \mathbb{F}_{q^m}(x)$ is a rational function of degree sum $n$ with some minor restrictions. Furthermore, for $q=7^k$, $m \geq 7$ and rational functions with numerator and denominator being linear, we explicitly find at most 6 fields in which the desired pair may not exist.
