It is known that a Bruen chain of the three-dimensional projective space exists for every odd prime power q at most 37, except for . It was shown by Cardinali et al. (2005) that Bruen chains do not exist for . We develop a model, based on finite fields, which allows us to extend this result to , thereby adding more evidence to the conjecture that Bruen chains do not exist for . Furthermore, we show that Bruen chains can be realised precisely as the -cliques of a two related, yet distinct, undirected simple graphs.
期刊介绍:
Finite Fields and Their Applications is a peer-reviewed technical journal publishing papers in finite field theory as well as in applications of finite fields. As a result of applications in a wide variety of areas, finite fields are increasingly important in several areas of mathematics, including linear and abstract algebra, number theory and algebraic geometry, as well as in computer science, statistics, information theory, and engineering.
For cohesion, and because so many applications rely on various theoretical properties of finite fields, it is essential that there be a core of high-quality papers on theoretical aspects. In addition, since much of the vitality of the area comes from computational problems, the journal publishes papers on computational aspects of finite fields as well as on algorithms and complexity of finite field-related methods.
The journal also publishes papers in various applications including, but not limited to, algebraic coding theory, cryptology, combinatorial design theory, pseudorandom number generation, and linear recurring sequences. There are other areas of application to be included, but the important point is that finite fields play a nontrivial role in the theory, application, or algorithm.
