In a 2022, Bartoli, Cossidente, Marino, and Pavese proved that in the projective space ${\rm PG}(3,q^3)$, one can find three $\mathbb F_q$-subgeometries such that the union of their point sets is a strong blocking set. This proves the…

Given integers $d\ge 3$ and $N\ge 3$. Let $G$ be a finite abelian group acting faithfully and linearly on a smooth hypersurface of degree $d$ in the complex projective space $\mathbb{P}^{N-1}$. Suppose $G\subset PGL(N, \mathbb{C})$ can be…

A skew Hadamard difference set (SHDS) is a difference set that satisfies the skew condition. It is known that if a group G admits a skew hadamard difference set, then G is a p-group with order congruent to 3 modulo 4. We will generalize…

This document is an informal bibliography of the papers dealing with distributed approximation algorithms. A classic setting for such algorithms is bounded degree graphs, but there is a whole set of techniques that have been developed for…

Let $\mathrm{PG}(3, q)$ denote the three-dimensional projective space over the finite field with $q$ elements. A line-spread of $\mathrm{PG}(3, q)$ is a collection $\mathcal{S}$ of mutually skew lines such that every point of…

In the projective space $\mathrm{PG}(3,q)$, we consider the orbits of lines under the stabilizer group of the twisted cubic. It is well known that the lines can be partitioned into classes every of which is a union of line orbits. All types…

We present a conjecture in Diophantine geometry concerning the construction of line bundles over smooth projective varieties over $\bar{\mathbb Q}}$. This conjecture, closely related to the Grothendieck Period Conjecture for cycles of…

Olmez, in "Symmetric $1\frac{1}{2}$-Designs and $1\frac{1}{2}$-Difference Sets" (2014), introduced the concept of a partial geometric difference set (also referred to as a $1\frac{1}{2}$-design), and showed that partial geometric difference…

Let $\Gamma$ denote a distance-regular graph with classical parameters $(D, b, \alpha, \beta)$ and $D\geq 3$. Assume the intersection numbers $a_1=0$ and $a_2\not=0$. We show $\Gamma$ is 3-bounded in the sense of the article [D-bounded…

An almost Abelian Lie algebra is a non-Abelian Lie algebra with a codimension 1 Abelian ideal. Most 3-dimensional real Lie algebras are almost Abelian, and they appear in every branch of physics that deals with anisotropic media -…

Compositional generalization, the ability to recognize familiar parts in novel contexts, is a defining property of intelligent systems. Although modern models are trained on massive datasets, they still cover only a tiny fraction of the…

A disjoint $(v,k,k-1)$ difference family in an additive group $G$ is a partition of $G\setminus\{0\}$ into sets of size $k$ whose lists of differences cover, altogether, every non-zero element of $G$ exactly $k-1$ times. The main purpose of…

We prove the modularity of a positive proportion of abelian surfaces over $\mathbf{Q}$. More precisely, we prove the modularity of abelian surfaces which are ordinary at $3$ and are $3$-distinguished, subject to some assumptions on the…

A group is metabelian if its commutator subgroup is abelian. For finitely generated metabelian groups, classical commutative algebra, algebraic geometry and geometric group theory, especially the latter two subjects, can be brought to bear…

In the present paper, we introduce a new concept of convexity which is generated by a family of endomorphisms of an Abelian group. In Abelian groups equipped with a translation invariant metric, we define the boundedness, the norm, the…

Bent functions, or equivalently, Hadamard difference sets in the elementary Abelian group $(\gf(2^{2m}), +)$, have been employed to construct symmetric and quasi-symmetric designs having the symmetric difference property. The main objective…

We continue the exploration of the relationship between conformal dimension and the separation profile by computing the separation of families of spheres in hyperbolic graphs whose boundaries are standard Sierpi\'nski carpets and Menger…

Let $A$ be abelian variety over the function field $K$ of a compact Riemann surface $B$. Fix a model $f \colon \mathcal{A} \to B$ of $A/K$ and a certain effective horizontal divisor $\DD \subset \mathcal{A}$. We give a sufficient condition…

Let PG$(\mathbb{F}_q^v)$ be the $(v-1)$-dimensional projective space over $\mathbb{F}_q$ and let $\Gamma$ be a simple graph of order ${q^k-1\over q-1}$ for some $k$. A 2$-(v,\Gamma,\lambda)$ design over $\mathbb{F}_q$ is a collection $\cal…

An $(r, s)$-${\textit set}$ in ${\rm PG}(n, q)$ is a set of points, say $\mathcal X$, such that each $s$-dimensional projective subspace contains at most $r$ points of $\mathcal X$. We investigate $(n, n-2)$-sets and $(n-2, n-3)$-sets in…
