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:

    “We’ve got to figure these things a little bit different than most people. Y’know, there’s something about going out in a plane that beats any other way.... A guy that washes out at the controls of his own ship, well, he goes down doing the thing that he loved the best. It seems to me that that’s a very special way to die.”
    —Dalton Trumbo (1905–1976)

    “The little toy dog is covered with dust,
    But sturdy and stanch he stands;
    And the little toy soldier is red with rust,
    And the musket moulds in his hands.
    Time was when the little toy dog was new,
    And the soldier was passing fair;
    And that was the time when our Little Boy Blue
    Kissed them and put them there.”
    —Eugene Field (1850–1895)
