✦ Synopsis
Let C be a conjugation class of permutations of a finite field F q . We consider the function N C ðqÞ defined as the number of permutations in C for which the associated permutation polynomial has degree 5q À 2. In 1969, Wells proved a formula for N ½3 ðqÞ where ½k denotes the conjugation class of k-cycles. We will prove formulas for N ½k ðqÞ where k ¼ 4; 5; 6 and for the classes of permutations of type ½2 2; ½3 2; ½4 2; ½3 3 and ½2 2 2. Finally in the case q ¼ 2 n , we will prove a formula for the classes of permutations which are product of 2-cycles.
