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:

    “with the plane nowhere and her body taking by the throat
    The undying cry of the void falling living beginning to be something
    That no one has ever been and lived through screaming without enough air”
    —James Dickey (b. 1923)

    “The poet will write for his peers alone. He will remember only that he saw truth and beauty from his position, and expect the time when a vision as broad shall overlook the same field as freely.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
