โœฆ Synopsis


If P is an irreducible element of a polynomial ring over a finite field, then one can define a Fermat quotient function associated to P. This is the direct analog of the traditional Fermat quotient function defined over the rational numbers using Fermat's ''little'' theorem. This paper provides answers for several of the central questions about the Fermat quotients over function fields.
