Characters of finite fields - Reference request
Let $\mathbf{F}_q$ ($q=p^f$) be a finite field. We are interested in the characters $\chi: \mathbf{F}_q\rightarrow \mathbf{K}$ ($\chi(0)=0$) where the $ \mathbf{K}$ is an alg.closed field of ...

Automorphism of positive characteristic field
Suppose $K$ is a field with $\text{char}(K) \geq 0$. Let $L$ be a cyclic extension of $K$ with degree $2n$. We consider the generator $\sigma$ of the Galois group $\text{Gal}(L/K)$.
I am interested in ...

Classification of simple Lie algebras over finite fields
Classification of simple (or simple-restricted) Lie algebras over algebraically closed fields in positive characteristic is studied for a long time. Today, we know all finite-dimensional simple (or ...

Explicit large finite fields in characteristic $2$
Every finite field of characteristic $2$ ist given by $\mathbb{F}_2[x]/P(x)$ for some irreducible polynomial $P\in \mathbb{F}_2[x]$.
For small degree, a simple algorithm gives a way to find $P$. Is ...

Is there a proof of Warning's Second Theorem using p-adic cohomology?
Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be a finite field, $n \in \mathbb{Z}^+$, and $f_1,\ldots,f_r \in \mathbb{F}_q[t_1,\ldots,t_n]$ with $\operatorname{deg}(f_i) = d_i$. Put $d = \sum_{i=1}^n d_i$ and suppose $d< n$...

Proofs in the same vein as Ax-Grothendieck
I would like to see other examples of (ideas of) proofs and results in the same vein as the proof of the Ax-Grothendieck theorem. To explain what I mean by "in the same vein", I will quote from the ...

Given two linear operators A and B over a finite field, is there a third operator C whose kernel is the intersection of kernels of A and B?
Let $V$ be a finite dimensional linear space over a finite field $k$. Let $A$ and $B$ be two endomorphisms of $V$.
Question 1. Is there an endomorphism $C$ of $V$, which is expressed in terms of ...

algorithm for calculating the Chow groups of a variety over a finite field
Is there an algorithm for calculating the Chow groups of a variety over a finite field?
It is know that $H^{2i,i}_\mathrm{mot}(X,\mathbf{Z}) = CH^i(X)$. In how many cases does this help us?
