Let q be a prime power. Following a paper by Coons, Jenkins, Knowles, Luke and Rault (case q a prime f69">) we define the numerical range Num(M)⊆Fq2 of an 0fa8bc1469f714e" title="Click to view the MathML source">n×n-matrix M with coefficients in 0fbbd3c790c27ad8318997e7951" title="Click to view the MathML source">Fq2 in terms of the usual Hermitian form. We prove that ♯(Num(M))>q (case q≠2), unless M is unitarily equivalent to a diagonal matrix with eigenvalues contained in an affine Fq-line. We study in details Num(M) when n=2.
