Frobenius transport between complementary parameters #
Since the Kasami parameters k and n - k are related by a Frobenius twist,
the two derivative images Δ_k and Δ_(n-k) have the same cardinality. This
is what lets the half-size fact be proved for odd k only and then transported
to the even case, where coprimality forces n - k to be odd.
Also recorded here is the elementary fact that 0 ∈ Δ_k for every k (take
the derivative parameter b = 0), and the packaging of the half-size fact into
the derivative-image half-size equation at both k and the complementary
parameter n - k.
The complementary Frobenius equivalence #
The Frobenius map used to transport data from parameter n - k to k.
The parameter n is not needed to define the equivalence; it enters only in
the identity below relating the Kasami exponents at k and n - k.

Frobenius transport of the derivative image #
The Kasami exponent over ℤ, free of truncated subtraction.
The derivative at k is the 2 ^ (2k)-power Frobenius image of the
derivative at n - k.
The complementary derivative image is the Frobenius image of the original derivative image.
Frobenius transport preserves the size of the Kasami derivative image:
|Δ_k| = |Δ_(n-k)|.
Zero always lies in the derivative image #
Zero belongs to every Kasami derivative image.
