We describe a generalization of most-perfect magic squares, called type-p most-perfect squares, and in prime-power orders we give a linear construction of these squares reminiscent of de la Loubere's classical magic square construction…
Questions that seek to determine whether a hyperplane arrangement property, be it geometric, arithmetic or topological, is of a combinatorial nature (that is determined by the intersection lattice) are abundant in the literature. To tackle…
Multi-plane light converters (MPLCs) are an emerging class of optical device capable of converting a set of input spatial light modes to a new target set of output modes. This operation represents a linear optical transformation - a much…
A finite projective plane, or more generally a finite linear space, has an associated incidence complex that gives rise to two natural algebras: the Stanley-Reisner ring $R/I_\Lambda$ and the inverse system algebra $R/I_\Delta$. We give a…
A n-set of equi-isoclinic planes in R^r is a set of n planes spanning R^r each pair of which has the same non-zero angle arccos(sqrt(lambda)). We prove that for any odd integer k such that 2k=p^alpha+1, p odd prime, alpha non-negative…
We prove a generalization of a result of Peres and Schlag on the dimensions of certain exceptional sets of projections and then apply it to a geometric problem.
We show there is a natural connection between Latin squares and commutative sets of monomials defining geometric structures in finite phase-space of prime power dimensions. A complete set of such monomials defines a mutually unbiased basis…
A projective rectangle is like a projective plane that has different lengths in two directions. We develop harmonic conjugation in projective rectangles. We construct projective rectangles in some harmonic matroids (matroids where harmonic…
Finite projective planes are constructed using groups that satisfy simple-looking conditions. The resulting projective planes include many known planes and possibly new ones, and are precisely those having a collineation group fixing a flag…
A compact complex surface with positive definite intersection lattice is either the projective plane or a false projective plane. If the intersection lattice is negative definite, the surface is either a non-minimal secondary Kodaira…
A pair of planes, both projective or both affine, of the same order and on the same pointset are orthogoval if each line of one plane intersects each line of the other plane in at most two points. In this paper we prove new constructions…
In this paper we study sequences of lattices which are, up to similarity, projections of $\mathbb{Z}^{n+1}$ onto a hyperplane $\bm{v}^{\perp}$, with $\bm{v} \in \mathbb{Z}^{n+1}$ and converge to a target lattice $\Lambda$ which is…
In this paper we present the results from a program developed by the author that finds the unitals of the known 193 projective planes of order 25.. There are several planes for which we have not found any unital. One or more than one…
A quantum Latin square of order $v$, QLS($v$), is a $v\times v$ array in which each of entries is a unit column vector from the Hilbert space $\mathbb{C}^{v}$, such that every row and column forms an orthonormal basis of $\mathbb{C}^{v}$.…
In this paper we fully describe all tropical linear mappings in the tropical projective plane, that is, maps from the tropical plane to itself given by tropical multiplication by an order 3 matrix. An erratum has been added fixing two…
The projective shape of a configuration of k points or "landmarks" in RP(d) consists of the information that is invariant under projective transformations and hence is reconstructable from uncalibrated camera views. Mathematically, the…
We show that k=w+2 mutually unbiased bases can be constructed in any square dimension d=s^2 provided that there are w mutually orthogonal Latin squares of order s. The construction combines the design-theoretic objects (k,s)-nets (which can…
Given an integer partition $P = (h_1h_2\dots h_k)$ of $n$, a realization of $P$ is a latin square with disjoint subsquares of orders $h_1,h_2,\dots,h_k$. Most known results restrict either $k$ or the number of different integers in $P$.…
Our purpose is to determine the complete set of mutually orthogonal squares of order $d$, which are not necessary Latin. In this article, we introduce the concept of supersquare of order $d$, which is defined with the help of its generating…
Low pole order frames of slanted vector fields are constructed on the space of vertical k-jets of the universal family of complete intersections in $\mathbb{P}^n$ and, adapting the arguments, low pole order frames of slanted vector fields…
