Garg and Sharma's permutation trinomial conjecture over fields of characteristic two

At least 3 years old · documented by

Let mm be a positive integer and define

g(x):=x5+x2m+4+x5×2m∈F22m[x].g(x):=x^5+x^{2^m+4}+x^{5\times 2^m}\in\mathbb{F}_{2^{2m}}[x].

A polynomial over a finite field is a permutation polynomial if it induces a one-to-one map from the field to itself. Garg–Sharma's conjecture. The polynomial g(x)g(x) is a permutation trinomial over F22m\mathbb{F}_{2^{2m}} if and only if

m≡2(mod4).m\equiv 2\pmod{4}.

This conjecture concerns an explicit family of permutation trinomials in even characteristic. Its status is not established by the supplied source context.
