Abstract It is shown that Gauss periods of a special type give an explicit polynomial-time computation of elements of exponentially large multiplicative order in some finite fields. This can be considered as a step towards solving the celebrated problem of finding primitive roots in finite fields in polynomial time.

Elements of provable high orders in finite fields
A method is given for constructing elements in Fqn whose orders are larger than any polynomial in n when n becomes large. As a by-product a theorem on multiplicative independence of compositions of…
Multiplicative order of Gauss periods
We obtain a lower bound on the multiplicative order of Gauss periods which generate normal bases over finite fields. This bound improves the previous bound of von zur Gathen and Shparlinski.
Gauss periods: orders and cryptographical applications
TLDR
Results indicate that Gauss periods have high order and are often primitive (self-dual) normal elements in finite fields and it is shown thatGauss periods can be exponentiated in quadratic time.
Elements of large order on varieties over prime finite fields
Let V be a fixed algebraic variety defined by m polynomials in n variables with integer coefficients. We show that there exists a constant C(V) such that for almost all primes p for all but at most…
Normal high order elements in finite field extensions based on the cyclotomic polynomials
We consider elements which are both of high multiplicative order and normal in extensions \(F_{q^{m} } \) of the field \(F_{q} \). If the extension is defined by a cyclotomic polynomial, we construct…
Sharpening of the Explicit Lower Bounds for the Order of Elements in Finite Field Extensions Based on Cyclotomic Polynomials
We explicitly construct elements of high multiplicative order in any extensions of finite fields based on cyclotomic polynomials.

We show that the Gao’s construction gives for any finite field Fqn elements with the multiplicative order at least ( n+t−1 t ) ∏t−1 i=0 1 d , where d = ⌈
Elements of high order in Artin-Schreier extensions of finite fields $\mathbb F_q$
In this article, we find a lower bound for the order of the coset x+b in the Artin-Schreier extension $\mathbb F_q[x]/(x^p-x-a)$, where $b\in\mathbb F_q$ that satisfies a generic special condition.
Constructing high order elements through subspace polynomials
TLDR
This paper presents an algorithm that for any positive integer c and prime power q, finding an element of order exp(Ω(√qc)) in the finite field [EQUATION] in deterministic time (qc)O(1) is easy.
