The essential dimension $\operatorname{ed}_k({\rm S}_n)$ of the symmetric group ${\rm S}_n$ is the minimal integer $d$ such that the general polynomial $x^n + a_1 x^{n-1} + \ldots + a_n$ can be reduced to a $d$-parameter form by a…
A permutation array(or code) of length $n$ and distance $d$, denoted by $(n,d)$ PA, is a set of permutations $C$ from some fixed set of $n$ elements such that the Hamming distance between distinct members $\mathbf{x},\mathbf{y}\in C$ is at…
Dorais asked for the maximum guaranteed size of a dimension $d$ subposet of an $n$-element poset. A lower bound of order $\sqrt{n}$ was found by Goodwillie. We provide a sublinear upper bound for each $d$. For $d=2$, our bound is…
We define symmetric designs of dimension $n$ and propriety $d$, providing a unifying generalization of several classes of higher-dimensional symmetric designs previously studied. We focus on the case $n=d=3$, which leads to the following…
In this paper we prove a conjecture about the dimension of linear systems of surfaces of degree d in P^3 through at most eight multiple points in general position.
Let $\mathcal{P}$ denote the set of primes. For a fixed dimension $d$, Cook-Magyar-Titichetrakun, Tao-Ziegler and Fox-Zhao independently proved that any subset of positive relative density of $\mathcal{P}^d$ contains an arbitrary linear…
A linear space is a system of points and lines such that any two distinct points determine a unique line; a Steiner $k$-system (for $k \geq 2$) is a linear space such that each line has size exactly $k$. Clearly, as a two-sorted structure,…
For a finite partially ordered set we calculate the dimension of the variety of its subspace representations having fixed dimension vector. The dimension is given in terms of the Euler quadratic form associated with a partially ordered set,…
Dimension is a standard and well-studied measure of complexity of posets. Recent research has provided many new upper bounds on the dimension for various structurally restricted classes of posets. Bounded dimension gives a succinct…
The problem of finding the maximal dimension of linear or affine subspaces of matrices whose rank is constant, or bounded below, or bounded above, has attracted many mathematicians from the sixties to the present day. The problem has caught…
A subset of points in a metric space is said to resolve it if each point in the space is uniquely characterized by its distance to each point in the subset. In particular, resolving sets can be used to represent points in abstract metric…
In this paper, we analyze the structure of maximal sets of $k$-dimensional spaces in $\mathrm{PG}(n,q)$ pairwise intersecting in at least a $(k-2)$-dimensional space, for $3 \leq k\leq n-2$. We give an overview of the largest examples of…
We present constructions and bounds for additive codes over a finite field in terms of their geometric counterpart, i.e., projective systems. It is known that the maximum number of $(h-1)$-spaces in PG$(2,q)$, such that no hyperplane…
Let K be an arbitrary (commutative) field with at least three elements, and let n, p and r be positive integers with r<=min(n,p). In a recent work, we have proved that an affine subspace of M_{n,p}(K) containing only matrices of rank…
A completely entangled subspace of a tensor product of Hilbert spaces is a subspace with no non-trivial product vector. K. R. Parthasarathy determined the maximum dimension possible for such a subspace. Here we present a simple explicit…
Let $K$ denote a field and let $V$ denote a vector space over $K$ with finite positive dimension. Let $End(V)$ denote the $K$-algebra consisting of all $K$-linear transformations from $V$ to $V$. We consider a pair $A,A^* \in End(V)$ that…
We show that the number of marked minimal models of an n-dimensional smooth complex projective variety of general type can be bounded in terms of its volume, and, if n=3, also in terms of its Betti numbers. For an n-dimensional projective…
Planar graphs are the graphs with Dushnik-Miller dimension at most three (W. Schnyder, Planar graphs and poset dimension, Order 5, 323-343, 1989). Consider the intersection graph of interior disjoint axis parallel rectangles in the plane.…
A stochastic PDE, describing mesoscopic fluctuations in systems of weakly interacting inertial particles of finite volume, is proposed and analysed in any finite dimension $d\in\mathbb{N}$. It is a regularised and inertial version of the…
Two new constructions of linear code pairs $C_2 \subset C_1$ are given for which the codimension and the relative minimum distances $M_1(C_1,C_2)$, $M_1(C_2^\perp,C_1^\perp)$ are good. By this we mean that for any two out of the three…
