Arithmetic progression in a finite field with prescribed norms
Abstract
Given a prime power $q$ and a positive integer $n$, let $\mathbb{F}_{q^{n}}$ represents a finite extension of degree $n$ of the finite field ${\mathbb{F}_{q}}$. In this article, we investigate the existence of $m$ elements in arithmetic progression, where every element is primitive and at least one is normal with prescribed norms. Moreover, for $n\geq6,q=3^k,m=2$ we establish that there are only $10$ possible exceptions.
