Abstract

An efficient algorithm is presented which for any finite field Fq of small characteristic finds an extension F q s of polynomially bounded degree and an element α∈ F q s of exponentially large multiplicative order. The construction makes use of certain analogues of Gauss periods of a special type. This can be considered as another step towards solving the celebrated problem of finding primitive roots in finite fields efficiently.
