  3. Finite field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finite_field

    In mathematics, a finite field or Galois field (so-named in honor of Évariste Galois) is a field that contains a finite number of elements.As with any field, a finite field is a set on which the operations of multiplication, addition, subtraction and division are defined and satisfy certain basic rules.

  4. Conway polynomial (finite fields) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conway_polynomial_(finite...

    The Conway polynomial is chosen to be primitive, so that each of its roots generates the multiplicative group of the associated finite field. The field F p n contains a unique subfield isomorphic to F p m for each m dividing n, and this accounts for all the subfields of F p n. For any m dividing n the cyclic group F * p n contains a subgroup ...

  5. Multiplicative group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiplicative_group

    The group scheme of n-th roots of unity is by definition the kernel of the n-power map on the multiplicative group GL(1), considered as a group scheme.That is, for any integer n > 1 we can consider the morphism on the multiplicative group that takes n-th powers, and take an appropriate fiber product of schemes, with the morphism e that serves as the identity.

  6. Finite field arithmetic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finite_field_arithmetic

    The multiplicative inverse for an element a of a finite field can be calculated a number of different ways: By multiplying a by every number in the field until the product is one. This is a brute-force search. Since the nonzero elements of GF(p n) form a finite group with respect to multiplication, a p n −1 = 1 (for a ≠ 0), thus the inverse ...

  7. Group (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Group_(mathematics)

    The multiplicative group of the field is the group whose underlying set is the set of nonzero real numbers {} and whose operation is multiplication. More generally, one speaks of an additive group whenever the group operation is notated as addition; in this case, the identity is typically denoted ⁠ 0 {\displaystyle 0} ⁠ , and the inverse of ...

  8. Primitive element (finite field) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primitive_element_(finite...

    In field theory, a primitive element of a finite field GF(q) is a generator of the multiplicative group of the field. In other words, α ∈ GF(q) is called a primitive element if it is a primitive (q − 1) th root of unity in GF(q); this means that each non-zero element of GF(q) can be written as α i for some natural number i.

  9. Magma (computer algebra system) - Wikipedia

    Magma has extensive tools for computing in representation theory, including the computation of character tables of finite groups and the Meataxe algorithm. Invariant theory; Magma has a type for invariant rings of finite groups, for which one can primary, secondary and fundamental invariants, and compute with the module structure. Lie theory
