AbstractLet U be an n -dimensional vector space over a finite field of q elements. The number of elements of Λ2U of each irreducible length is found using the isomorphism of Λ2U with Hn, the space of n x n skew-symmetric matrices, and results due to Carlitz and MacWilliams on the number of skew-symmetric matrices of any given rank.

Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be a finite field with $q$ elements and let $X$ be a set of matrices over $\mathbb{F}_q$. The main results of this paper are explicit expressions for the number of pairs $(A,B)$ of matrices in $X$ such that $A$ has rank $r$, $B$ has rank $s$, and $A+B$ has rank $k$ in the cases that (i) $X$ is the set of alternating matrices over $\mathbb{F}_q$ and (ii) $X$ is the set of symmetric matrices over $\mathbb{F}_q$ for odd $q$. Our motivation to study these sets comes from their relationships to quadratic forms. As one application, we obtain the number of quadratic Boolean functions that are simultaneously bent and negabent, which solves a problem due to Parker and Pott.

International audience We study the functions that count matrices of given rank over a finite field with specified positions equal to zero. We show that these matrices are $q$-analogues of permutations with certain restricted values. We obtain a simple closed formula for the number of invertible matrices with zero diagonal, a $q$-analogue of derangements, and a curious relationship between invertible skew-symmetric matrices and invertible symmetric matrices with zero diagonal. In addition, we provide recursions to enumerate matrices and symmetric matrices with zero diagonal by rank. Finally, we provide a brief exposition of polynomiality results for enumeration questions related to those mentioned, and give several open questions. Nous étudions certaines fonctions qui comptent des matrices à coefficients dans un corps fini d'un rang donné ayant certaines entrées égales à zéro. Nous montrons que ces matrices sont des $q$-analogues des permutations avec certaines valeurs restreintes, et nous obtenons une formule simple et fermée pour calculer le nombre de matrices inversibles avec zéro sur toute la diagonale. De plus nous donnons des récursions pour énumérer par le rang les matrices et les matrices symétriques avec des zéros sur la diagonale. Pour finir, nous faisons un exposé concis des résultats sur la polynomialité des fonctions énumératives liées à celles qui sont mentionnées antérieurement, et nous incluons plusieurs questions ouvertes.

Let GF(q) denote a finite field of order q = py, p a prime. Let A and C be symmetric matrices of order n, rank m and order s, rank k, respectively, over GF(q). Carlitz [6] has determined the number N(A, C, n, s) of solutions X over GF(q), for p an odd prime, to the matrix equation1.1where n = m. Furthermore, Hodges [9] has determined the number N(A, C, n, s, r) of s × n matrices X of rank r over GF(q), p an odd prime, which satisfy (1.1). Perkin [10] has enumerated the s × n matrices of given rank r over GF(q), q = 2y, such that XXT = 0. Finally, the author [3] has determined the number of solutions to (1.1) in case C = 0, where q = 2y.

Let $K$ be any finite field. For any prime $p$, the $p$-adic valuation map is given by $\psi_{p}:K/\{0\} \to \R^+\bigcup\{0\}$ is given by $\psi_{p}(r) = n$ where $r = p^n \frac{a}{b}$, where $p,a,b$ are relatively prime. The field $K$ together with a valuation is called valued field. Also, any field $K$ has the trivial valuation determined by $\psi{(K)} = \{0,1\}$. Through out the paper K represents $\Z_q$. In this paper, we construct the graph corresponding to the valuation map called the valued field graph, denoted by $VFG_{p}(\Z_{q})$ whose vertex set is $\{v_0,v_1,v_2,\ldots, v_{q-1}\}$ where two vertices $v_i$ and $v_j$ are adjacent if $\psi_{p}(i) = j$ or $\psi_{p}(j) = i$. Here, we tried to characterize the valued field graph in $\Z_q$. Also we analyse various graph theoretical parameters such as diameter, independence number etc.

We study the Kielanowski parametrization of the Kobayashi-Maskawa (KM) matrix V. A new two-angle parametrization is investigated explicitly and compared with the Kielanowski ansatz. Both of them are symmetric matrices and lead to |V13/V23|=0.129. Necessary corrections to the off-diagonal symmetry of V are also discussed.
