Companion matrices over fields of prime characteristic, p, that are sums of two idempotents and a nilpotent are characterized in terms of dimension and trace of such a matrix and of p. Companion matrices over fields of positive characteristic, p, that are sums of m idempotents, m ≥ 2, and a nilpotent are characterized in terms of dimension and trace of such a matrix and of p.

AbstractWe study the splitting of Fermat Jacobians of prime degree l over an algebraic closure of a finite field of characteristic p not equal to l. We prove that their decomposition is determined by the residue degree of p in the cyclotomic field of the l-th roots of unity. We provide a numerical criterion that allows to compute the absolutely simple subvarieties and their multiplicity in the Fermat Jacobian.

Let 𝔽q stand for the finite field of odd characteristic p with q elements (q = pn, n ∈ ℕ) and [Formula: see text] denote the set of all the nonzero elements of 𝔽q. Let m and t be positive integers. By using the Smith normal form of the exponent matrix, we obtain a formula for the number of rational points on the variety defined by the following system of equations over [Formula: see text] where the integers t > 0, r0 = 0 < r1 < r2 < ⋯ < rt, 1 ≤ n1 < n2 <, ⋯ < nt and 0 ≤ j ≤ t − 1, bk ∊ 𝔽q, ak,i ∊ [Formula: see text] (k = 1, …, m, i = 1, …, rt), and the exponent of each variable is a positive integer. Further, under some natural conditions, we arrive at an explicit formula for the number of 𝔽q-rational points on the above variety. It extends the results obtained previously by Wolfmann, Sun, Wang, Hong et al. Our result gives a partial answer to an open problem raised in [The number of rational points of a family of hypersurfaces over finite fields, J. Number Theory 156 (2015) 135–153].

SynopsisA necessary condition is obtained for a complete graph to have a decomposition as the line-disjoint union of three isomorphic strongly regular subgraphs. The condition is used to determine the number of non-trivial solutions of the equation x3+y3 = z3 in a finite field of characteristic p ≡ 2 mod 3.

A (commutative) ringR(with identity) is calledm-linear (for an integerm≥2) if(a+b)m=am+bmfor allaandbinR. Them-linear reduced rings are characterized, with special attention to the finite case. A structure theorem reduces the study ofm-linearity to the case of prime characteristic, for which the following result establishes an analogy with finite fields. For each primepand integerm≥2which is not a power ofp, there exists an integers≥msuch that, for each ringRof characteristicp,Rism-linear if and only ifrm=rpsfor eachrinR. Additional results and examples are given.

We prove that if the p-reduced abelian group G is a special countable extension of its totally projective p-component of torsion Gp and R is a perfect commutative unitary ring of prime characteristic p, then the group S(G) of all normed p-units in the group algebra RG modulo Gp, that is, S(G)/Gp, is totally projective. Our result strengthens both classical results obtained by May and Hill–Ullery.

Abstract We deduce Katz’s theorems for (A, B)-exponential sums over finite fields using $\ell$-adic cohomology and a theorem of Denef–Loeser, removing the hypothesis that A + B is relatively prime to the characteristic p. In some degenerate cases, the Betti number estimate is improved using toric decomposition and Adolphson–Sperber’s bounds for degrees of L-functions. Applying the facial decomposition theorem, we prove that the universal family of (A, B)-polynomials is generically ordinary for its L-function when p is in certain arithmetic progression.
