Homset for finite fields

This is the set of all field homomorphisms between two finite fields.

EXAMPLES:

sage: R.<t> = ZZ[]
sage: E.<a> = GF(25, modulus = t^2 - 2)
sage: F.<b> = GF(625)
sage: H = Hom(E, F)
sage: f = H([4*b^3 + 4*b^2 + 4*b]); f
Ring morphism:
  From: Finite Field in a of size 5^2
  To:   Finite Field in b of size 5^4
  Defn: a |--> 4*b^3 + 4*b^2 + 4*b
sage: f(2)
2
sage: f(a)
4*b^3 + 4*b^2 + 4*b
sage: len(H)
2
sage: [phi(2*a)^2 for phi in Hom(E, F)]
[3, 3]

>>> from sage.all import *
>>> R = ZZ['t']; (t,) = R._first_ngens(1)
>>> E = GF(Integer(25), modulus = t**Integer(2) - Integer(2), names=('a',)); (a,) = E._first_ngens(1)
>>> F = GF(Integer(625), names=('b',)); (b,) = F._first_ngens(1)
>>> H = Hom(E, F)
>>> f = H([Integer(4)*b**Integer(3) + Integer(4)*b**Integer(2) + Integer(4)*b]); f
Ring morphism:
  From: Finite Field in a of size 5^2
  To:   Finite Field in b of size 5^4
  Defn: a |--> 4*b^3 + 4*b^2 + 4*b
>>> f(Integer(2))
2
>>> f(a)
4*b^3 + 4*b^2 + 4*b
>>> len(H)

>>> [phi(Integer(2)*a)**Integer(2) for phi in Hom(E, F)]

We can also create endomorphisms:

sage: End(E)
Automorphism group of Finite Field in a of size 5^2
sage: End(GF(7))[0]
Ring endomorphism of Finite Field of size 7
  Defn: 1 |--> 1
sage: H = Hom(GF(7), GF(49, 'c'))
sage: H[0](2)
2

>>> from sage.all import *
>>> End(E)
Automorphism group of Finite Field in a of size 5^2
>>> End(GF(Integer(7)))[Integer(0)]
Ring endomorphism of Finite Field of size 7
  Defn: 1 |--> 1
>>> H = Hom(GF(Integer(7)), GF(Integer(49), 'c'))
>>> H[Integer(0)](Integer(2))
