As demonstrated by Naor and Naor [9] among others [1, 2], the construction of small-bias probability spaces, or small-bias sets, is connected to that of error-correcting codes. Small-bias sets are probability spaces that in some sense approximate larger ones. Error-correcting codes have provided explicit constructions of such spaces. For instance, the concatenation of a Reed-Solomon code with a Hadamard code provides a now standard construction. Recently, Ben-Aroya and Ta-Shma used Hermitian codes to construct small-bias sets [3]. In this paper, we consider small-bias sets constructed from the extended norm-trace function eld Fqr (x;y)=Fqr dened by TrFqr=Fq (y) = x u where q is a power of a prime, r 2, and uj q r 1 q 1 ; here, TrFqr=Fq denotes the trace with respect to the extension Fqr=Fq. The Hermitian function eld y q + y = x q+1 , its quotient y q + y = x u where ujq + 1, and the norm-trace function eld given by TrFqr=Fq (y) = NFqr=Fq (x) are special cases of the extended norm-trace function eld. We detail the resulting small-bias sets.
