Non-isomorphic subfields of the BM and GGS maximal function fields
Abstract In 2016 Tafazolian et al. [31] introduced new families of $$\mathbb {F}_{q^{2n}}$$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:msub> <mml:mi>F</mml:mi> <mml:msup> <mml:mi>q</mml:mi> <mml:mrow> <mml:mn>2</mml:mn> <mml:mi>n</mml:mi> </mml:mrow> </mml:msup> </mml:msub> </mml:math> -maximal function fields $$\mathcal {Y}_{n,s}$$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:msub> <mml:mi>Y</mml:mi> <mml:mrow> <mml:mi>n</mml:mi> <mml:mo>,</mml:mo> <mml:mi>s</mml:mi> </mml:mrow> </mml:msub> </mml:math> and $$\mathcal {X}_{n,s,a,b}$$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:msub> <mml:mi>X</mml:mi> <mml:mrow> <mml:mi>n</mml:mi> <mml:mo>,</mml:mo> <mml:mi>s</mml:mi> <mml:mo>,</mml:mo> <mml:mi>a</mml:mi> <mml:mo>,</mml:mo> <mml:mi>b</mml:mi> </mml:mrow> </mml:msub> </mml:math> arising as subfields of the first generalized GK function field (GGS). In this way the authors found new examples of maximal function fields that are not isomorphic to subfields of the Hermitian function field. In this paper we construct analogous function fields $$\tilde{\mathcal {Y}}_{n,s}$$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:msub> <mml:mover> <mml:mi>Y</mml:mi> <mml:mo>~</mml:mo> </mml:mover> <mml:mrow> <mml:mi>n</mml:mi> <mml:mo>,</mml:mo> <mml:mi>s</mml:mi> </mml:mrow> </mml:msub> </mml:math> and $$\tilde{\mathcal {X}}_{n,s,a,b}$$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:msub> <mml:mover> <mml:mi>X</mml:mi> <mml:mo>~</mml:mo> </mml:mover> <mml:mrow> <mml:mi>n</mml:mi> <mml:mo>,</mml:mo> <mml:mi>s</mml:mi> <mml:mo>,</mml:mo> <mml:mi>a</mml:mi> <mml:mo>,</mml:mo> <mml:mi>b</mml:mi> </mml:mrow> </mml:msub> </mml:math> as subfields of the second generalized GK function field (BM) and determine their automorphism groups. Using that the automorphism group is an invariant under isomorphism, we show that the function fields $$\tilde{\mathcal {Y}}_{n,s}$$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:msub> <mml:mover> <mml:mi>Y</mml:mi> <mml:mo>~</mml:mo> </mml:mover> <mml:mrow> <mml:mi>n</mml:mi> <mml:mo>,</mml:mo> <mml:mi>s</mml:mi> </mml:mrow> </mml:msub> </mml:math> and $${\mathcal {Y}}_{n,s}$$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:msub> <mml:mi>Y</mml:mi> <mml:mrow> <mml:mi>n</mml:mi> <mml:mo>,</mml:mo> <mml:mi>s</mml:mi> </mml:mrow> </mml:msub> </mml:math> , as well as $$\tilde{\mathcal {X}}_{n,s,a,b}$$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:msub> <mml:mover> <mml:mi>X</mml:mi> <mml:mo>~</mml:mo> </mml:mover> <mml:mrow> <mml:mi>n</mml:mi> <mml:mo>,</mml:mo> <mml:mi>s</mml:mi> <mml:mo>,</mml:mo> <mml:mi>a</mml:mi> <mml:mo>,</mml:mo> <mml:mi>b</mml:mi> </mml:mrow> </mml:msub> </mml:math> and $$\mathcal {X}_{n,s,a,b}$$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:msub> <mml:mi>X</mml:mi> <mml:mrow> <mml:mi>n</mml:mi> <mml:mo>,</mml:mo> <mml:mi>s</mml:mi> <mml:mo>,</mml:mo> <mml:mi>a</mml:mi> <mml:mo>,</mml:mo> <mml:mi>b</mml:mi> </mml:mrow> </mml:msub> </mml:math> , are not isomorphic unless m / s divides $$q^2-q+1$$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:mrow> <mml:msup> <mml:mi>q</mml:mi> <mml:mn>2</mml:mn> </mml:msup> <mml:mo>-</mml:mo> <mml:mi>q</mml:mi> <mml:mo>+</mml:mo> <mml:mn>1</mml:mn> </mml:mrow> </mml:math> and 3 divides n . In other words, the difference between the BM and GGS function fields can be found again at the level of the subfields that we consider.
