Dec 22, 2020 at 14:54 comment added Alexander The interesting questions here is about $n$ and $q=2^k-1$. Found couple of involutions when $n | (q-1)/k$
Dec 22, 2020 at 14:43 comment added Alexander I suggest to close question.
Dec 22, 2020 at 14:43 comment added Alexander Correct, you are right.
Dec 22, 2020 at 14:40 comment added Geoff Robinson If I am reading your question correctly, isn't it the case that any pair of involutions have this property. There are only finitely many permutations of $\mathbb{F}_{q}$. Hence for some $n$, we have that $(fg)^{n}$ is the identity permutation. Then $(gf)^{n}$ is also the identity permutation, since $gf = g(fg)g^{-1}.$
Dec 22, 2020 at 14:23 comment added Alexander The most important question is: Let's $f=1/x$, how to find all corresponding $g$
