Abstract:Let F be a field. We construct many subgroups of GL2(F (t)) that act regularly on F (t) 2 \{0}, and we show that the corresponding nearfields are not Dickson nearfields if char F = 2.Mathematics Subject Classification. 12K05, 20H20, 20E06.Keywords. Nearfield, Dickson nearfield, rational function field.Nearfields are generalisations of skew fields: just drop one of the two distributive laws. Many examples can be obtained by distorting the multiplication of a skew field D using automorphisms of D, as explained i… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
