On the number of irreducible polynomials of special kinds in finite fields

Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be the finite field of order $q$ and $f(x)$ be an irreducible polynomial of degree $n$ over $\mathbb{F} _q$. For a positive divisor $n_1$ of $n$, define the $n_1$-traces of $f(x)$ to be $\mathrm{Tr}(\alpha;n_1)=\alpha+\alpha^q+\cdots+\alpha^{q^{n_1-1}}$ where $\alpha$'s are t...
