Orbits of finite-field hypergeometric functions and complete subgraphs of generalized Paley graphs

Dermot McCarthy and Mason Springfield

Vol. 17 (2024), No. 2, 355–362
Abstract

In a recent result of Dawsey and McCarthy, a formula for the number of complete subgraphs of order 4 of generalized Paley graphs is given in terms of a sum of finite-field hypergeometric functions. Via known transformation formulas for finite-field hypergeometric functions, many of the summands in their formula are equal. They construct a group action representing these transformations so that the number of summands that need to be evaluated is reduced to orbit representatives. We expand the group used by Dawsey and McCarthy, reducing by up to 80% the number of summands to be evaluated.
