On a Ring Associated to F[x]
by Fouts, Kelly Jean, Ph.D., Baylor University, 2013, 37; 3593302
Abstract (Summary)

For a field F and the polynomial ring F [x] in a single indeterminate, we define [special characters omitted] = {α ∈ EndF(F [x]) : α(f) ∈ f F [x ] for all f ∈ F [ x]}. Then [special characters omitted] is naturally isomorphic to F [x] if and only if F is infinite. If F is finite, then [special characters omitted] has cardinality continuum. We study the ring [special characters omitted] for finite fields F. For the case that F is finite, we discuss many properties and the structure of [special characters omitted].
