Abstract

In this paper we will study the action of 𝔽 q n 2 × 2 on the graph of an 𝔽 q -linear function of 𝔽 q n to itself. In particular, we will see that, under certain combinatorial assumptions, its stabilizer (together with the sum and product of matrices) is a field. We will also give some examples where this is not the case. We will also connect such a stabilizer to the right idealizer of the rank-metric code defined by the linear function, and give some structural results in the case where the polynomials are partially scattered.

Keywords: Linearized polynomial; scattered polynomial; rank-metric code
