Upper bounds for cyclotomic numbers

Let q be a power of a prime p, let k be a nontrivial divisor of q−1 and write e=(q−1)/k. We study upper bounds for cyclotomic numbers (a,b) of order e over the finite field Fq. A general result of our study is that (a,b)≤3 for all a,b∈Z if p>(14−−√)k/ordk(p). More conclusive results will be obtai...
