Abstract

Trigonometry in finite fields was introduced by de Souza et al. and further developed by Lima and Panario and others, giving functions with many properties similar to trigonometric functions over the reals. Those explorations used a degree-2 extension of a base field. While this corresponds most closely to trigonometry over the reals, in finite fields we can have extensions of other degrees. In this paper we generalize the definitions of trigonometric functions and their related Chebyshev polynomials to arbitrary degrees and explore their properties. Many familiar results carry over into the generalized setting.
