Description:
The theory of finite fields can be traced back to Gauss and Galois. In recent years there has been a resurgence of research because of the wide range of applications of various theoretical aspects of finite fields. Some of the most important applications occur in all parts of communication sciences, in particular in coding theory, signal processing and cryptography. There has been an increasing interaction among the different groups of researchers in these areas both theoretical as well as applied and therefore an international conference devoted to these ideas is essential. While there have been numerous special meetings devoted exclusively to applications (such as coding theory, designs and cryptography), the philosophy of the -series is to have a broadly based conference bringing together researchers and users of finite fields from various disciplines to communicate, discuss and advance the frontiers of knowledge in the theory and applications of such fields. Hence any contribution in which the nature or properties of finite fields have a significant part would qualify for discussion. Suitable topics include:
Structure of finite fields: normal bases, primitive elements, polynomials. Explicit constructions of finite field objects: algorithms and complexity. Arithmetical theory of function fields over finite fields, L functions. Connections with number theory, group theory and algebraic geometry. Applications to coding theory, combinatorial designs, Galois geometries, cryptology and connections between these areas. Exponential sums and connections with codes. Sequences and arrays over finite fields. Applications to numerical analysis. New applications and connections.
