In this thesis, we give two simple and effective methods for constructing Kummer extensions of algebraic function fields over finite fields with many rational places. Some explicit examples are obtained after a practical search. We also study fibre products of Kummer extensions over a finite field and determine the exact number of rational places. We obtain explicit examples with many rational places by a practical search. We have a record (i.e the lower bound is improved) and a new entry for the table of van der Geer and van der Vlugt.

Divisibility properties on boolean functions using the numerical normal form Göloğlu, Faruk; Yücel, Melek D; Department of Cryptography (2004) A Boolean function can be represented in several different forms. These different representation have advantages and disadvantages of their own. The Algebraic Normal Form, truth table, and Walsh spectrum representations are widely studied in literature. In 1999, Claude Carlet and Phillippe Guillot introduced the Numerical Normal Form. NumericalNormal Form(NNF) of a Boolean function is similar to Algebraic Normal Form, with integer coefficients instead of coefficients from the two element field. Using NNF re...
Value sets of Lattes maps over finite fields Küçüksakallı, Ömer (Elsevier BV, 2014-10-01) We give an alternative computation of the value sets of Dickson polynomials over finite fields by using a singular cubic curve. Our method is not only simpler but also it can be generalized to the non-singular elliptic case. We determine the value sets of Lattes maps over finite fields which are rational functions induced by isogenies of elliptic curves with complex multiplication.
On maximal curves and linearized permutation polynomials over finite fields Özbudak, Ferruh (Elsevier BV, 2001-08-08) The purpose of this paper is to construct maximal curves over large finite fields using linearized permutation polynomials. We also study linearized permutation polynomials under finite field extensions.
A generic identification theorem for L*-groups of finite Morley rank Berkman, Ayse; Borovik, Alexandre V.; Burdges, Jeffrey; Cherfin, Gregory (Elsevier BV, 2008-01-01) This paper provides a method for identifying "sufficiently rich" simple groups of finite Morley rank with simple algebraic groups over algebraically closed fields. Special attention is given to the even type case, and the paper contains a number of structural results about simple groups of finite Morley rank and even type.
A geometric approach to absolute irreducibility of polynomials Koyuncu, Fatih; Özbudak, Ferruh; Department of Mathematics (2004) This thesis is a contribution to determine the absolute irreducibility of polynomials via their Newton polytopes. For any field F; a polynomial f in F[x1, x2,..., xk] can be associated with a polytope, called its Newton polytope. If the polynomial f has integrally indecomposable Newton polytope, in the sense of Minkowski sum, then it is absolutely irreducible over F; i.e. irreducible over every algebraic extension of F. We present some new results giving integrally indecomposable classes of polytopes. Conse...
