Abstract

AbstractLet n be a positive integer and let $\mathbb{F} _{q^n}$ be the finite field with $q^n$ elements, where q is a prime power. We introduce a natural action of the projective semilinear group ${\mathrm{P}\Gamma\mathrm{L}} (2, q^n)={\mathrm{PGL}} (2, q^n)\rtimes {\mathrm{Gal}} ({\mathbb F_{q^n}} /\mathbb{F} _q)$ on the set of monic irreducible polynomials over the finite field $\mathbb{F} _{q^n}$ . Our main results provide information on the characterisation and number of fixed points.
