A note on generalized distributive sets of a finite Dickson nearfield
Abstract
Let π½qn be a finite field where q=pl (p is a prime) and a Dickson nearfield R associated to the field. In this note we investigate the basic properties of the generalized distributive set D(a,b) where a,bβ R. The set is well-known when n=1, 2. For n>2, we characterize when D(a,b) is a subfield of π½qn. Furthermore we find the unique largest subfield of π½qn contained in D(a,b). We also provide a condition to guarantee that D(a,b) is not a subfield of π½qn. We end the note by posing the question of when D(a,b), as a space over π½p, has a primitive normal basis.

AB - Let π½_q^n be a finite field where q=p^l (p is a prime) and a Dickson nearfield R associated to the field. In this note we investigate the basic properties of the generalized distributive set D(a,b) where a,bβ R. The set is well-known when n=1, 2. For n>2, we characterize when D(a,b) is a subfield of π½_q^n. Furthermore we find the unique largest subfield of π½_q^n contained in D(a,b). We also provide a condition to guarantee that D(a,b) is not a subfield of π½_q^n. We end the note by posing the question of when D(a,b), as a space over π½_p, has a primitive normal basis.
