    The document discusses minimal polynomials, conjugates, and conjugacy classes in fields. The minimal polynomial of an element α in a field extension is the lowest degree monic polynomial over the base field that has α as a root. An element's conjugates are its images under field automorphisms, and its conjugacy class consists of itself and its conjugates. The document will cover properties of minimal polynomials, examples of conjugates, and how to compute minimal polynomials.

    Minimal Polynomials Conjugates and Conjugacy classes

    Minimal Polynomials
    GF(qm) The minimal polynomial M(x) is the lowest degree monic polynomial p(x) over GF(q) with p()=0 For each the minimal polynomial M(x) is unique. (There will be only one polynomial qualify to be called as the Minimal polynomial.)
