A brief history of finite semifields upto 1965 is followed by a more detailed examination of recent discoveries with particular emphasis on constructions, fractional dimensions and cyclic semifields. Other results are also developed.

AbstractSymplectic finite semifields can be used to construct nonlinear binary codes of Kerdock type (i.e., with the same parameters of the Kerdock codes, a subclass of Delsarte–Goethals codes). In this paper, we introduce nonbinary Delsarte–Goethals codes of parameters $(q^{m+1}\ ,\ q^{m(r+2)+2}\ ,\ {\frac{q-1}{q}(q^{m+1}-q^{\frac{m+1}{2}+r})})$ over a Galois field of order $q=2^l$ , for all $0\le r\le\frac{m-1}{2}$ , with m ≥ 3 odd, and show the connection of this construction to finite semifields.
