A question about the span of a sequence of polynomials satisfying a linear recurrence
Let F be a finite field and A(n) in F[t], n in N, be defined by a linear recurrence with coefficients in F[t], together with initial conditions. Is there a decision procedure for determining whether ...

Chevalley-Warning for finite rings: the degree of a non-polynomial
$\def\F{\mathbb F}$
$\def\Z{\mathbb Z}$
One reason that Chevalley-Warning theorem is that amazingly useful is the fact that for a finite field $\F$, any function from $\F^n$ to $\F$ is a polynomial. ...

When is a given polynomial a square of another polynomial?
I meet a problem in which I hope to show a special polynomial is not a square of another polynomial. More precisely, let's consider the polynomial
$f(x):= 1-x+2bx^n-2bx^{n+1}-b^2x^{2n-1}+2b^2x^{2n}-b^...

Roots of polynomials over $\mathbb{Z}/p^k\mathbb{Z}$
Over a finite field, such as $\mathbb{Z}/p\mathbb{Z}$, the number of roots of a polynomial is no larger than the degree. I'm interested in how does this generalize to $\mathbb{Z}/p^k\mathbb{Z}$.
I'm ...

When $\gcd(P(x),Q(x))\bmod R(x)=\gcd(P(x) \bmod R(x),Q(x) \bmod R(x))$?
Let's $P,Q\in\mathbb K[x]$, with $\mathbb K$ a finite field.
On what necessary and sufficient condition on $R \in \mathbb K[x]$ is it :
$\gcd(P(x),Q(x))\bmod R(x)=\gcd(P(x) \bmod R(x),Q(x) \bmod R(x))...

Representing an $m$ dimensional quadratic polynomial as a polynomial on $\mathbb F_{q^m}$
We can represent $\mathbb{F}_{q^m}$ as $\mathbb{F}_q[\alpha]$ where $\alpha$ is root of an irreducible $m$-degree polynomial on $\mathbb{F}_q$.
By sending $\sum_{i=0}^{m-1} c_i\alpha^i \mapsto (c_{m-1}...
