Abstract

In this paper, we consider the matrix representations of the finite field, and show some conclusions of the primitive matrix representation of the finite field on the ground field by using the properties of the cyclotomic polynomial. We obtain the symmetric matrix representation of the finite field Fq with characteristic 2 by constructing the symmetric matrix, and get the relationship between the symmetric matrix representation and the primitive matrix representation of the finite field Fq.
