Let $F=\mathbb{F}_q(T)$ be the field of rational functions with $\mathbb{F}_q$-coefficients, and $A=\mathbb{F}_q[T]$ be the subring of polynomials. Let $D$ be a division quaternion algebra over $F$ which is split at $1/T$. Given an…
Combinatorial $t$-designs have nice applications in coding theory, finite geometries and several engineering areas. There are two major methods of constructing $t$-designs. One of them is via group actions of certain permutation groups…
Altermagnetism, as an unconventional antiferromagnetism, exhibits collinear-compensated magnetic order in real space and spin-splitting band structure in reciprocal space. In this work, we propose a general approach to generating…
In the classification of Moufang polygons by J. Tits and R. Weiss, the most intricate case is by far the case of the exceptional Moufang quadrangles of type E_6, E_7 and E_8, and in fact, the construction that they present is ad-hoc and…
We present a simple construction of an acute set of size $2^{d-1}+1$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$ for any dimension $d$. That is, we explicitly give $2^{d-1}+1$ points in the $d$-dimensional Euclidean space with the property that any three points form…
A lattice in Euclidean $d$-space is called well-rounded if it contains $d$ linearly independent vectors of minimal length. This class of lattices is important for various questions, including sphere packing or homology computations. The…
This work provides an effective algorithm for distinguishing finite quotients between two non-isomorphic finitely generated Fuchsian groups $\Gamma$ and $\Lambda$. It will suffice to take a finite quotient which is abelian, dihedral, a…
Mutually Unbiased Bases (MUBs) constitute a fundamental geometric structure in quantum theory, known for providing an optimal measurement scheme for quantum state tomography. In prime and prime-power dimensions, analytical constructions of…
We propose methods towards a systematic determination of d dimensional curved spaces where Euclidean field theories with rigid supersymmetry can be defined. The analysis is carried out from a group theory as well as from a supergravity…
Let $(p_n)_n$ be either the $q$-Meixner or the $q$-Laguerre polynomials. We form a new sequence of polynomials $(q_n)_n$ by considering a linear combination of two consecutive $p_n$: $q_n=p_n+\beta_np_{n-1}$, $\beta_n\in \RR$. Using the…
Maximally embedding dimension (MED) numerical semigroups are a wide and interesting family, with some remarkable algebraic and combinatorial properties. Associated to any numerical semigroup one can construct a MED closure, as it is well…
In a recent paper by Cook, et al., which introduced the concept of unexpected plane curves, the focus was on understanding the geometry of the curves themselves. Here we expand the definition to hypersurfaces of any dimension and, using…
We offer a piece of evidence that the problems of finding the number of mutually unbiased bases (MUB) and mutually orthogonal Latin squares (MOLS) might not be equivalent. We study a particular procedure which has been shown to relate the…
Exceptional field theory (EFT) gives a geometric underpinning of the U-duality symmetries of M-theory. In this talk I give an overview of the surprisingly rich algebraic structures which naturally appear in the context of EFT. This includes…
For each real quadratic field we constructively show the existence of infinitely many exceptional quartic number fields containing that quadratic field. On the other hand, another infinite collection of quartic exceptional fields without…
The notions of special and extraspecial pairs of roots were introduced by Carter for calculating structure constants, [Ca72]. Let $\{r, s\}$ be a special pair of roots for which the structure constant $N(r,s)$ is sought, and let $\{r_1,…
It is established that the logarithm of the number of latin $d$-cubes of order $n$ is $\Theta(n^{d}\ln n)$ and the logarithm of the number of pairs of orthogonal latin squares of order $n$ is $\Theta(n^2\ln n)$. Similar estimations are…
The aim of this note is to introduce a fast new general method for the construction of double and single even order magic squares. The method for double even order magic squares is fairly straight-forward but some adjustment is necessary…
We construct exceptional collections of maximal length on four families of surfaces of general type with $p_g=q=0$ which are isogenous to a product of curves. From these constructions we obtain new examples of quasiphantom categories as…
We adress the problem of the reasons for the existence of 12 symmetric spaces with the exceptional Lie groups. The 1+2 cases for $G_2$ and $F_4$ respectively are easily explained from the octonionic nature of these groups. The 4+3+2 cases…
