Let $C_{k_1}, \ldots, C_{k_n}$ be cycles with $k_i\geq 2$ vertices ($1\le i\le n$). By attaching these $n$ cycles together in a linear order, we obtain a graph called a polygon chain. By attaching these $n$ cycles together in a cyclic…
Given a family $X$ of complex varieties degenerating over a punctured disc, one is interested in computing related invariants called the motivic nearby fiber and the refined limit mixed Hodge numbers, both of which contain information about…
It is well known that the problem of determining the weight distributions of families of cyclic codes is, in general, notoriously difficult. An even harder problem is to find characterizations of families of cyclic codes in terms of their…
We study trivial multiple zeta values in Tate algebras. These are particular examples of the multiple zeta values in Tate algebras in positive characteristic introduced by the second author. If the number of variables involved is 'not…
This thesis intends to make a contribution to the theories of algebraic cycles and moduli spaces over the real numbers. In the study of the subvarieties of a projective algebraic variety, smooth over the field of real numbers, the cycle…
We give new, short proofs of recent permutation polynomial results of Bousalmi, Bayad, and Derbal by reducing the verification to explicit computations on a three-element multiplicative subgroup via Zieve's fiber criterion. Building on this…
We consider the 1-parameter family of planar quintic systems, $\dot x= y^3-x^3$, $\dot y= -x+my^5$, introduced by A. Bacciotti in 1985. It is known that it has at most one limit cycle and that it can exist only when the parameter $m$ is in…
We show that there is an almost complex structure on a differential calculus on finite points coming from a bidirected finite graph without multiple edges or loops. We concentrate on a polygon as a concrete case. In particular, a…
We explore the codimension one strata in the degree-one cohomology jumping loci of a finitely generated group, through the prism of the multivariable Alexander polynomial. As an application, we give new criteria that must be satisfied by…
We give a new geometric construction of the big projective module in the principal block of the BGG category $\mathscr{O}$, or rather the corresponding $\mathscr{D}$-module on the flag variety. Namely, given a one-parameter family of…
Recently, a $q$-polynomial approach to the construction and analysis of cyclic codes over $\gf(q)$ was given by Ding and Ling. The objective of this paper is to give another $q$-polynomial approach to all cyclic codes over $\gf(q)$.
Given a family of complex affine planes, we show that it is trivial over a Zariski open subset of the base. The proof relies upon a relative version of the contraction theorem.
Generalizing the Moret-Bailly pencil of supersingular abelian surfaces to higher dimensions, we construct for each field of characteristic p>0 a smooth projective variety with trivial dualizing sheaf that does not formally lift to…
A digraph $G$ is weightable if its edges can be weighted with real numbers such that the total weight in each directed cycle equals 1. There are several equivalent conditions: that $G$ admits a 0/1-weighting with the same property, or that…
Cyclic codes over finite fields are widely implemented in data storage systems, communication systems, and consumer electronics, as they have very efficient encoding and decoding algorithms. They are also important in theory, as they are…
Linear codes and $t$-designs are interactive with each other. It is well known that some $t$-designs have been constructed by using certain linear codes in recent years. However, only a small number of infinite families of the extended…
Let X be a smooth projective variety. Starting with a finite set of cycles on powers X^m of X, we consider the Q-vector subspaces of the Q-linear Chow groups of the X^m obtained by iterating the algebraic operations and pullback and push…
We construct an infinitesimal invariant for cycles in a family with cohomology class in the total space lying in a given level of the Leray filtration. This infinitesimal invariant detects cycles modulo algebraic equivalence in the fibers.…
Recently, the covariant formulation of the geometric bifurcation theory, developed in a previous paper, has been applied to two elementary problems: the study of limit cycles of dynamical systems and the second part of Hilbert's sixteenth…
Let $r,s,t$ be three positive integers and $\mathcal{C}$ be a binary linear code of lenght $r+s+t$. We say that $\mathcal{C}$ is a triple cyclic code of lenght $(r,s,t)$ over $\mathbb{Z}_2$ if the set of coordinates can be partitioned into…
