Abstract

This paper is divided into four sections as follows: Sect. 1 is an introduction. In Sect. 2, we investigate the relation between \(\mathbb {F}_q\)-algebras arising from structure-constant maps and \(\mathbb {F}_q\)-algebras admitting elementary abelian groups as automorphism subgroups. In Sect. 3, we show that the elements of \(End_{K}(A)\), A is an algebra over a field K, can be expressed as linearized polynomials. In the last section, we study division algebras and the associated homogeneous polynomials over the finite field \(\mathbb {F}_q\) using tools from algebraic geometry and in particular Chevalley–Warning’s Theorem.
