In $PG(2,q^3)$, let $\pi$ be a subplane of order $q$ that is tangent to $\ell_infty$. The tangent splash of $\pi$ is defined to be the set of $q^2+1$ points on $\ell_infty$ that lie on a line of $\pi$. This article investigates properties…
In $\PG(2,q^3)$, let $\pi$ be a subplane of order $q$ that is exterior to $\li$. The exterior splash of $\pi$ is defined to be the set of $q^2+q+1$ points on $\li$ that lie on a line of $\pi$. This article investigates properties of an…
Linear sets over finite fields are central objects in finite geometry and coding theory, with deep connections to structures such as semifields, blocking sets, KM-arcs, and rank-metric codes. Among them, $i$-clubs, a class of linear sets…
Let B be a subplane of PG(2,q^3) of order q that is tangent to $\ell_\infty$. Then the tangent splash of B is defined to be the set of q^2+1 points of $\ell_\infty$ that lie on a line of B. In the Bruck-Bose representation of PG(2,q^3) in…
The aim of this paper is to investigate the intersection problem between two linear sets in the projective line over a finite field. In particular, we analyze the intersection between two clubs with eventually different maximum fields of…
Given two arbitrary closed sets in Euclidean space, a simple transversality condition guarantees that the method of alternating projections converges locally, at linear rate, to a point in the intersection. Exact projection onto nonconvex…
For a hypersurface in a projective space, we consider the set of pairs of a point and a line in the projective space such that the line intersects the hypersurface at the point with a fixed multiplicity. We prove that this set of pairs…
The skewer of a pair of skew lines in space is their common perpendicular. To configuration theorems of plane projective geometry involving points and lines (such as Pappus or Desargues) there correspond configuration theorems in space:…
Every linear set in a Galois space is the projection of a subgeometry, and most known characterizations of linear sets are given under this point of view. For instance, scattered linear sets of pseudoregulus type are obtained by considering…
A projective rectangle is like a projective plane that may have different lengths in two directions. We develop properties of the graph of lines, in which adjacency means having a common point, especially its strong regularity and clique…
We study the set of lines that meet a fixed line and are tangent to two spheres and classify the configurations consisting of a single line and three spheres for which there are infinitely many lines tangent to the three spheres that also…
We consider the method of alternating projections for finding a point in the intersection of two closed sets, possibly nonconvex. Assuming only the standard transversality condition (or a weaker version thereof), we prove local linear…
A spherical set is called convex if for every pair of its points there is at least one minimal geodesic segment that joins these points and lies in the set. We prove that for n >= 3 a complete locally-convex (topological) immersion of a…
A projective rectangle is like a projective plane that has different lengths in two directions. We develop the basic theory of projective rectangles including incidence properties, projective subplanes, configuration counts, a partial…
We construct connection maps and linear symmetric connections on tangent and second-order tangent bundles for \fr manifolds using the notion of a spray. For these manifolds, we characterize linear symmetric connections on tangent bundles in…
Every maximum scattered linear set in $\mathrm{PG}(1,q^5)$ is the projection of an $\mathbb{F}_q$-subgeometry $\Sigma$ of $\mathrm{PG}(4,q^5)$ from a plane $\Gamma$ external to the secant variety to $\Sigma$. The pair $(\Gamma,\Sigma)$ will…
Linear Geometry describes geometric properties that depend on the fundamental notion of a line. In this paper we survey basic notions and results of Linear Geomery that depend on the flat hulls: flats, exchange, rank, regularity,…
Assuming Hartshorne's conjecture on complete intersections, we classify projective bundles over projective spaces which has a smooth blow up structure over another projective space. Under some assumptions, we also classify projective…
Let $\mathrm{PG}(1,E)$ be the projective line over the endomorphism ring $E=End_q({\mathbb F}_{q^t})$ of the $\mathbb F_q$-vector space ${\mathbb F}_{q^t}$. As is well known there is a bijection $\Psi:\mathrm{PG}(1,E)\rightarrow{\cal…
We present a uniform theory of constructible sheaves on arbitrary schemes with coefficients in topological or even condensed rings. This is accomplished by defining lisse sheaves to be the dualizable objects in the derived infinity-category…
