International Conference on Finite Fields and Their Applications 2025 (Fq16)

The conference Fq16 will take place at ICMC/USP Campus, São Carlos, Brazil during the week of July 7-11, 2025.

Fq16 will continue the 31-year-old tradition of a forum for researchers on the mathematical aspects of finite fields and their applications. Previous editions of the Fq conference could be found here.

Scientific Scope

Theory: structure of finite fields, primitive elements, normal bases, polynomials, number-theoretic aspects of finite fields, character sums, function fields, APN functions.

Computation: algorithms and complexity, polynomial factorization, decomposition and irreducibility testing, sequences and functions.

Applications: algebraic coding theory, cryptography, algebraic geometry over finite fields, finite incidence geometry, designs, combinatorics, quantum information science.
