Generators of $mathbb{Z}_2[x][x^3+x^2+1]$












0












$begingroup$


I need to find all generators of the field $mathbb{Z}_2[x][x^3+x^2+1]^*$



The star is defined as follows: $ F[x]^*m(x) = { a(x) in F[x]m(x) | gcd(a(x), m(x))=1}$



So this means we only look at the irreducible polynoms as possible generators.
The new set contains this polynoms: $1, x, x+1, x^2+x+1$.



So the set has order 4.
The number of generators is equal to the number of co-prime numbers less then 4. So there are two generators (as 1, 3 are co-prime to 4).
I know that 1 can't be a generator so I only need to check $x, x+1, x^2+x+1$.



Is this correct up to this point?
Is there a clever way to check the remaining polynomials instead of just check all the powers?

    I can't understand your definition of $*$: you seem ot be looking at all polynomials which are multiples of $m(x)$ and are coprime to $m(x)$?

    The group has seven elements. In addition to the four you listed there are the cosets of $x^2+x$, $x^2+1$ and $x^2$. What do you know about groups of order seven? Hint: seven is a prime number.

    Correct. In a cyclic group of prime order any element other than the neutral element generates the whole group.
