*Short Course on APN Functions and Related Structures
by Gary McGuire

15-18 March at Sabanci University
*

In the last fifteen years or so, interest in APN (Almost Perfect 
Nonlinear) functions
has grown and grown.These functions are mappings between finite fields 
having
certain extremal properties. In these lectures we will give an 
introduction to APN
functions, and a survey of the area. In particular, we will explain the 
connections
to areas such as cryptography, coding theory, sequences, and geometry.

We will discuss the important tools in the study of APN functions, such as
quadratic forms, linearized polynomials,and the Fourier transform. We will
explain how these arise, and give some applications.The theory of 
polynomials
over finite fields is heavily used. Along the way we will mention 
various open
problems, and ideas for future research.

In the final lecture we will outline some connections to algebraic geometry
and number theory, particularly curves over finite fields.


Schedule:
15 March, Monday
13:15-14:30
16 March, Tuesday
13:00-14:00
17 March, Wednesday
16:00-17:30**
