"Linear" Constructions with Nonlinear Fermat Quotient Operators
Abstract:
The integers do not admit any nontrivial derivations. We will explain how the operation $x \to$ ${x-x^p \over p}$ can be thought of as a replacement for the derivative operator on the integers. After the introduction we hope to explain some recent work on the meaning of "linearity" in this theory.
