Linearized Reed-Solomon (LRS) codes form an important family of maximum sum-rank distance (MSRD) codes that generalize both Reed--Solomon codes and Gabidulin codes. In this paper we study the equivalence problem for LRS codes and determine…
This paper mainly focuses on cones whose basis is a maximum $h$-scattered linear set. We start by investigating the intersection sizes of such cones with the hyperplanes. Then we analyze two constructions of point sets with few intersection…
Let $V$ be a finite set of size $n$. We consider real functions on the "slice" $\binom{V}{k}$, which are also known as functions in the Johnson scheme. For $I \subseteq J \subseteq V$, the characteristic function of the set of all…
In 1982, Cameron and Liebler investigated certain "special sets of lines" in PG(3,q), and gave several equivalent characterizations. Due to their interesting geometric and algebraic properties, these "Cameron-Liebler line classes" got much…
Linear sets over finite fields are central objects in finite geometry and coding theory, with deep connections to structures such as semifields, blocking sets, KM-arcs, and rank-metric codes. Among them, $i$-clubs, a class of linear sets…
We investigate Cameron-Liebler sets of planes in the Klein quadric $Q^+(5,q)$ in PG$(5,q)$. We prove that there are many examples of such Cameron-Liebler sets of planes in the Klein quadric. More specifically, we provide an incomplete list…
This paper focuses on non-existence results for Cameron-Liebler $k$-sets. A Cameron-Liebler $k$-set is a collection of $k$-spaces in $\mathrm{PG}(n,q)$ or $\mathrm{AG}(n,q)$ admitting a certain parameter $x$, which is dependent on the size…
In this paper, we provide a construction of $(q+1)$-ovoids of the hyperbolic quadric $Q^+(7,q)$, $q$ an odd prime power, by glueing $(q+1)/2$-ovoids of the elliptic quadric $Q^-(5,q)$. This is possible by controlling some intersection…
In this article we study Cameron-Liebler line classes in PG$(n,q)$ and AG$(n,q)$, objects also known as boolean degree one functions. A Cameron-Liebler line class $\mathcal{L}$ is known to have a parameter $x$ that depends on the size of…
In this paper we develop non-existence results for $m$-ovoids in the classical polar spaces $Q^-(2r+1,q), W(2r-1,q)$ and $H(2r,q^2)$ for $r>2$. In [4] a lower bound on $m$ for the existence of $m$-ovoids of $H(4,q^2)$ is found by using the…
We investigate the existence of Boolean degree $d$ functions on the Grassmann graph of $k$-spaces in the vector space $\mathbb{F}_q^n$. For $d=1$ several non-existence and classification results are known, and no non-trivial examples are…
In this article we generalize the concepts that were used in the PhD thesis of Drudge to classify Cameron-Liebler line classes in PG$(n,q), n\geq 3$, to Cameron-Liebler sets of $k$-spaces in PG$(n,q)$ and AG$(n,q)$. In his PhD thesis,…
We study Cameron-Liebler $k$-sets in the affine geometry, so sets of $k$-spaces in $\text{AG}(n, q)$. This generalizes research on Cameron-Liebler $k$-sets in the projective geometry $\text{PG}(n, q)$. Note that in algebraic combinatorics,…
The study of Cameron-Liebler line classes in PG($3,q$) arose from classifying specific collineation subgroups of PG($3,q$). Recently, these line classes were considered in new settings. In this point of view, we will generalize the concept…
