More recently in [23] and in [5], new examples of maximum scattered $\\mathbb{F}_q$-subspaces of $V(2,q^n)$ have been constructed, but the equivalence problem of the corresponding linear sets is left open. Here we show that the $\\mathbb{F}_q$-linear sets presented in [23] and in [5], for $n=6,8$, are new. Also, for $q$ odd, $q\\equiv \\pm 1,\\,0 \\pmod 5$, we present new examples of maximum scattered $\\mathbb{F}_q$-linear sets in $\\mathrm{PG}(1,q^6)$, arising from trinomial polynomials, which define new $\\mathbb{F}_q$-linear MRD-codes of $\\mathbb{F}_q^{6\\times 6}$ with dimension $12$, minimum distance 5 and middle nucleus (or left idealiser) isomorphic to $\\mathbb{F}_{q^6}$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-09-04T12:47:29.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "51E20", "51E22", "05B25" ], "keywords": [ "maximum scattered linear sets", "projective line", "left idealiser", "middle nucleus", "minimum distance" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
