We discuss an elementary, yet unsolved, problem of Niederreiter concerning the enumeration of a class of subspaces of finite dimensional vector spaces over finite fields. A short and self-contained account of some recent progress on this…

We discuss a conjecture concerning the enumeration of nonsingular matrices over a finite field that are block companion and whose order is the maximum possible in the corresponding general linear group. A special case is proved using some…

Vector spaces over finite fields and Anzahl formulas of subspaces were studied by Wan (Geometry of Classical Groups over Finite Fields, Science Press, 2002). As a generalization, we study vector spaces and singular linear spaces over…

We enumerate the number of $T$-splitting subspaces of dimension $m$ for an arbitrary operator $T$ on a $2m$-dimensional vector space over a finite field. When $T$ is regular split semisimple, comparison with an alternate method of…

We consider some combinatorial problems on matrix polynomials over finite fields. Using results from control theory we give a proof of a result of Helmke, Jordan and Lieb on the number of linear unimodular matrix polynomials over a finite…

We prove various results on the size and structure of subsets of vector spaces over finite fields which, in some sense, have too many mutually orthogonal pairs of vectors. In particular, we obtain sharp finite field variants of a theorem of…

In this survey we give an overview of recent developments on the Quantitative Subspace Theorem. In particular, we discuss a new upper bound for the number of subspaces containing the "large" solutions, obtained jointly with Roberto…

In this note, we find a sharp bound for the minimal number (or in general, indexing set) of subspaces of a fixed (finite) codimension needed to cover any vector space V over any field. If V is a finite set, this is related to the problem of…

A {\it vector space partition} is here a collection $\mathcal P$ of subspaces of a finite vector space $V(n,q)$, of dimension $n$ over a finite field with $q$ elements, with the property that every non zero vector is contained in a unique…

We study extensions and generalizations of the Schmidt Subspace Theorem in various settings. In particular, we prove results for algebraic points of bounded degree, giving a sharp version of Schmidt's theorem for quadratic points in the…

In this semi-expository paper we review the notion of a spherical space. In particular we present some recent results of Wedhorn on the classification of spherical spaces over arbitrary fields. As an application, we introduce and classify…

Abhyankar proved that every field of finite transcendence degree over $\mathbb{Q}$ or over a finite field is a homomorphic image of a subring of the ring of polynomials $\mathbb{Z}[T_1, \dots, T_n]$ (for some $n$ depending on the field). We…

We study the restricted families of projections in vector spaces over finite fields. We show that there are families of random subspaces which admit a Marstrand-Mattila type projection theorem.

The subspace structure of Beidleman near-vector spaces is investigated. We characterise finite dimensional Beidleman near-vector spaces and we classify the R-subgroups of finite dimensional Beidleman near-vector spaces. We provide an…

Let D be a division ring with centre F. Let T(D) be the vector space over F generated by all multiplicative commutators in D. In [1], authors have conjectured that every division ring is generated as a vector space over its centre by all of…

In this short note we present a class of conjectures on partitions of integers as summations of primes, which are extensions of Goldbach conjecture.

We show that the tensor product of modules of tensor fields is a noetherian module as a module over any graded Lie subalgebra of finite codimension in the Lie algebra of polynomial vector fields on $\mathbb{R}^n$. As a corollary, we prove…

In this note, we give a new necessary condition for the existence of non-trivial partitions of a finite vector space. Precisely, we prove that, if V is a finite vector space over a field of order q, then the number of the subspaces of…

In this expository article, we discuss the relation between the Gaussian binomial and multinomial coefficients and ordinary binomial and multinomial coefficients from a combinatorial viewpoint, based on expositions by Butler, Knuth and…
