Trigonometry in Galois Fields - The Z Plane in A Galois Field

The Z Plane in A Galois Field

The complex Z plane (Argand diagram) in GF(p) can be constructed from the supra-unimodular set of GI(p):

  • The supra-unimodular set of GI(p), denoted Gs, is the set of elements ζ = (a + jb) ∈ GI(p), such that (a2 + b2) −1 (mod p).
  • The structure s,*>, is a cyclic group of order 2(p + 1), called the supra-unimodular group of GI(p).

The elements ζ = a + jb of the supra-unimodular group Gs satisfy (a2 + b2)21 (mod p) and all have modulus 1. Gs is precisely the group of phases .

  • If p is a Mersenne prime (p = 2n − 1, n > 2), the elements ζ = a + jb such that a2 + b2 −1 (mod p) are the generators of Gs.

Famous quotes containing the words plane and/or field:

    “It was the most ungrateful and unjust act ever perpetrated by a republic upon a class of citizens who had worked and sacrificed and suffered as did the women of this nation in the struggle of the Civil War only to be rewarded at its close by such unspeakable degradation as to be reduced to the plane of subjects to enfranchised slaves.”
    —Anna Howard Shaw (1847–1919)

    “We need a type of theatre which not only releases the feelings, insights and impulses possible within the particular historical field of human relations in which the action takes place, but employs and encourages those thoughts and feelings which help transform the field itself.”
    —Bertolt Brecht (1898–1956)
