Abstract

We consider a matrix analogue of Schur's conjecture concerning permutation polynomials induced by polynomials with integral coefficients. For any fixed integer m = 1 we consider polynomials with integral coefficients which induce permutations on the ring of all m x m matrices over the finite field F"p for infinitely many primes p. We also provide a survey of recent results concerning permutation polynomials over finite fields.
