Let $\ell_1,\ell_2,\dots$ be a countable collection of lines in ${\mathbb R}^d$. For any $t \in [0,1]$ we construct a compact set $\Gamma\subset{\mathbb R}^d$ with Hausdorff dimension $d-1+t$ which projects injectively into each $\ell_i$,…
We give some new explicit examples of putatively optimal projective spherical designs. i.e., ones for which there is numerical evidence that they are of minimal size. These form continuous families, and so have little apparent symmetry in…
From descent theory to higher geometry, the idea of gluing has been embedded in many elegant and powerful techniques, proving instrumental for the solution of many problems. In this paper, we introduce a framework that allows to link…
We prove that for any partition of a set which contains an infinite arithmetic (respectively geometric) progression into two disjoint subsets, at least one of these subsets contains an infinite number of triplets such that each triplet is…
Almost designs ($t$-adesigns) were proposed and discussed by Ding as a certain generalization of combinatorial designs related to almost difference sets. Unlike $t$-designs, it is not clear whether $t$-adesigns need also be $(t-1)$-designs…
We construct some irreducible representations of the Leavitt path algebra of an arbitrary quiver. The constructed representations are associated to certain algebraic branching systems. For a row-finite quiver, we classify algebraic…
High dimensional expanders (HDXs) are a hypergraph generalization of expander graphs. They are extensively studied in the math and TCS communities due to their many applications. Like expander graphs, HDXs are especially interesting for…
A $t\text{-}(n,K,\lambda;q)$ design, also called the $q$-analog of a $t$-wise balanced design, is a set ${\mathcal B}$ of subspaces with dimensions contained in $K$ of the $n$-dimensional vector space ${\mathbb F}_q^n$ over the finite field…
We prove a lifting theorem for odd Frattini covers of finite groups. Using this, we characterize solvable groups and more generally p-solvable groups in terms of containing a triple of elements of distinct prime power orders with product 1.…
A group divisible design $\mbox{GDD}(m,n;\lambda_1,\lambda_2)$, is an ordered pair $(V, \cal{B})$ where $V$ is an $(m+n)$-set of symbols while $\cal{B}$ is a collection of $3$-subsets (called blocks) of $V$ satisfying the following…
A method is developed here for building differentiable three-dimensional manifolds on multicube structures. This method constructs a sequence of reference metrics that determine differentiable structures on the cubic regions that serve as…
Isotopic liftings of algebraic structures are investigated in the context of Clifford algebras, where it is defined a new product involving an arbitrary, but fixed, element of the Clifford algebra. This element acts as the unit with respect…
Special functions, coding theory and $t$-designs have close connections and interesting interplay. A standard approach to constructing $t$-designs is the use of linear codes with certain regularity. The Assmus-Mattson Theorem and the…
A method to construct trihamiltonian extensions of a separable system is presented. The procedure is tested for systems, with a natural Hamiltonian, separable in classical sense in one of the four orthogonal separable coordinate systems of…
A classical method of constructing a linear code over $\gf(q)$ with a $t$-design is to use the incidence matrix of the $t$-design as a generator matrix over $\gf(q)$ of the code. This approach has been extensively investigated in the…
A new methodological approach for the study of topology for shapes made of arrangements of lines, planes or solids is presented. Topologies for shapes are traditionally built on the classical theory of point-sets. In this paper, topologies…
We propose an abelian categorification of $\hat{Z}$-invariants for Seifert $3$-manifolds. First, we give a recursive combinatorial derivation of these $\hat{Z}$-invariants using graphs with certain hypercubic structures. Next, we consider…
We obtain algorithmically effective versions of the dense lattice sphere packings constructed from orders in $\mathbb{Q}$-division rings by the first author. The lattices in question are lifts of suitable codes from prime characteristic to…
In these notes we aim at bringing together design theory and projective geometry over a ring. Both disciplines are well established, but the results on the interaction between them seem to be rare and scattered over the literature. Thus our…
In this article we construct many examples of properly convex irreducible domains divided by Zariski dense relatively hyperbolic groups in every dimension at least 3. This answers a question of Benoist. Relative hyperbolicity and non-strict…
