finite field

  • 1Finite field — In abstract algebra, a finite field or Galois field (so named in honor of Évariste Galois) is a field that contains only finitely many elements. Finite fields are important in number theory, algebraic geometry, Galois theory, cryptography, and… …

  • 2Finite field arithmetic — Arithmetic in a finite field is different from standard integer arithmetic. There are a limited number of elements in the finite field; all operations performed in the finite field result in an element within that field.While each finite field is …

  • 3Quasi-finite field — In mathematics, a quasi finite field is a generalisation of a finite field. Standard local class field theory usually deals with complete fields whose residue field is finite , but the theory applies equally well when the residue field is only… …

  • 4Block Lanczos algorithm for nullspace of a matrix over a finite field — The Block Lanczos algorithm for nullspace of a matrix over a finite field is a procedure for finding the nullspace of a matrix using only multiplication of the matrix by long, thin matrices. These long, thin matrices are considered as vectors of… …

  • 5Primitive element (finite field) — In field theory, a branch of mathematics, a primitive element of a finite field GF ( q ) is a generator of the multiplicative group of the field, which is necessarily cyclic. The minimal polynomial of a primitive element is a primitive polynomial …

  • 7Field extension — In abstract algebra, field extensions are the main object of study in field theory. The general idea is to start with a base field and construct in some manner a larger field which contains the base field and satisfies additional properties. For… …

  • 10Field with one element — In mathematics, the field with one element is a suggestive name for an object that should exist: many objects in math have properties analogous to objects over a field with q elements, where q = 1, and the analogy between number fields and… …
