Abstract · v1

Let kk be an algebraically closed field of odd characteristic pp, and let φdφ_d be the monic Chebyshev polynomial defined by φd(t+t−1)=td+t−dφ_d(t+t^{-1})=t^d+t^{-d}. For d>4d>4 with p∤dp\nmid d, let Hd≤PGL2(k)H_d\le\text{PGL}_2(k) be the stabilizer of the zero set of φdφ_d. We show that Hd≅{Dd,if 2d=pr+1   for some integer   r≥1,S3,if 4d=pr+1   for some integer   r≥1,C2,otherwise. H_d\cong \begin{cases} D_d,&\text{if }2d=p^r+1\;\text{ for some integer }\;r\geq 1,\\ S_3,&\text{if }4d=p^r+1\;\text{ for some integer }\; r\geq 1,\\ C_2,&\text{otherwise}. \end{cases}
