The maximum scattered linear sets in $PG(1,q^n)$ have been completely classified for $n \le 4$ by Csajb\'ok-Zanella and Lavrauw-Van de Voorde. Here a wide class of linear sets in $PG(1,q^5)$ is studied which depends on two parameters.…
We prove that a non-empty set L of at most q^5+q^4+q^3+q^2+q+1 lines of PG(n, q) with the properties that (1) every point of PG(n,q) is incident with either 0 or q+1 elements of L, (2) every plane plane of PG(n, q) is incident with either…
There are 6 families of finite polar spaces of rank $3$. The set of lines in a rank $3$ polar space form a rank $5$ association scheme. We determine the regular sets of minimal size in several of these polar spaces, and describe some…
We consider the orbits of the group $G=PGL_2(q)$ on the points, lines and planes of the projective space $PG(3,q)$ over a finite field $\mathbb F_q$ of characteristic different from $2$ and $3$. The points of $PG(3,q)$ can be identified…
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…
The point-line geometry known as a \textit{partial quadrangle} (introduced by Cameron in 1975) has the property that for every point/line non-incident pair $(P,\ell)$, there is at most one line through $P$ concurrent with $\ell$. So in…
Let $\mathcal{O}$ be a conic in the classical projective plane $PG(2,q)$, where $q$ is an odd prime power. With respect to $\mathcal{O}$, the lines of $PG(2,q)$ are classified as passant, tangent, and secant lines, and the points of…
The projective general linear group $\mathrm{PGL}_2(\mathrm{GF}(2^m))$ acts as a $3$-transitive permutation group on the set of points of the projective line. The first objective of this paper is to prove that all linear codes over…
We study the problem of classifying the lines of the projective $3$-space $PG(3,q)$ over a finite field $GF(q)$ into orbits of the group $G=PGL(2,q)$ of linear symmetries of the twisted cubic $C$. A generic line neither intersects $C$ nor…
A difference set is said to have classical parameters if $ (v,k, \lambda) = (\frac{q^d-1}{q-1}, \frac{q^{d-1}-1}{q-1}, \frac{q^{d-2}-1}{q-1}).$ The case $d=3$ corresponds to planar difference sets. We focus here on the family of abelian…
We give a combinatorial characterization of the family of lines of P G(3, q) which meet a hyperbolic quadric in two points (the so called secant lines) using their intersection properties with the points and planes of PG(3,q).
Let $G$ be a finite group and let $cd(G)$ be the set of all irreducible complex character degrees of $G$. It was conjectured by Huppert in Illinois J. Math. 44 (2000) that, for every non-abelian finite simple group $H$, if $cd(G)=cd(H)$…
In this paper, we resolve a conjecture of Green and Liebeck [Disc. Math., 343 (8):117119, 2019] on codes in $PGL(2,q)$. To be specific, we show that: if $D$ is a dihedral subgroup of order $2(q+1)$ in $G=PGL(2,q)$, and $A=\{g\in G: g^{q+1}=…
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…
A compact classification of the projective lines defined over (commutative) rings (with unity) of all orders up to thirty-one is given. There are altogether sixty-five different types of them. For each type we introduce the total number of…
In the projective space $\mathrm{PG}(3,q)$, we consider the orbits of lines under the stabilizer group of the twisted cubic. In the literature, lines of $\mathrm{PG}(3,q)$ are partitioned into classes, each of which is a union of line…
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 provide classification results for translation generalized quadrangles of order less or equal to $64$, and hence, for all incidence geometries related to them. The results consist of the classification of all pseudo-ovals in…
We classify the Boolean degree $1$ functions of $k$-spaces in a vector space of dimension $n$ (also known as Cameron-Liebler classes) over the field with $q$ elements for $n \geq n_0(k, q)$. This also implies that two-intersecting sets with…
The attempted classification of regular algebras of global dimension four, so-called quantum $\mathbb P^3$s, has been a driving force for modern research in noncommutative algebra. Inspired by the work of Artin, Tate, and Van den Bergh,…
