We describe new classification results in the theory of generalized quadrangles (= Tits-buildings of rank $2$ and type $\mathbb{B}_2$), more precisely in the (large) sub theory of skew translation generalized quadrangles ("STGQs"). Some of…
Except for the Hermitian buildings $\mathcal{H}(4,q^2)$, up to a combination of duality, translation duality or Payne integration, every known finite building of type $\mathbb{B}_2$ satisfies a set of general synthetic properties, usually…
In this paper, we establish the following two results: (1) a skew translation generalized quadrangle of even order is a translation generalized quadrangle, (2) a generalized quadrangle of even order does not admit a point regular…
We solve a fundamental question posed in Frohardt's 1988 paper [8] on finite $2$-groups with Kantor familes, by showing that finite groups $K$ with a Kantor family $(\mathcal{F},\mathcal{F}^*)$ having distinct members $A, B \in \mathcal{F}$…
In the period 1994-1999 Thas wrote a series of three papers on generalized quadrangles of order $(s, s^2)$. In this Part IV we classify all finite translation generalized quadrangles of order $(s, s^2)$ having a kernel of size at least 3,…
We provide classification results for translation generalized quadrangles of order less or equal to $64$, and hence, for all incidence geometries related to them. The results consist of the classification of all pseudo-ovals in…
A pseudo-hyperoval of a projective space $\PG(3n-1,q)$, $q$ even, is a set of $q^n+2$ subspaces of dimension $n-1$ such that any three span the whole space. We prove that a pseudo-hyperoval with an irreducible transitive stabiliser is…
Let $A$ be the Steenrod algebra over the finite field $k := \mathbb Z_2$ and $G(q)$ be the general linear group of rank $q$ over $k.$ A well-known open problem in algebraic topology is the explicit determination of the cohomology groups of…
In this paper we present a graph theoretic construction of Steiner quadruple systems (SQS) admitting abelian groups as point-regular automorphism groups. The resulting SQS has an extra property which we call A-reversibility, where A is the…
We prove that there are no semi-finite generalized hexagons with $q + 1$ points on each line containing the known generalized hexagons of order $q$ as full subgeometries when $q$ is equal to $3$ or $4$, thus contributing to the existence…
Staggered $t$-structures are a class of $t$-structures on derived categories of equivariant coherent sheaves. In this note, we show that the derived category of coherent sheaves on a partial flag variety, equivariant for a Borel subgroup,…
In this paper, we study prime order automorphisms of generalized quadrangles. We show that, if $\mathcal{Q}$ is a thick generalized quadrangle of order $(s,t)$, where $s > t$ and $s+1$ is prime, and $\mathcal{Q}$ has an automorphism of…
This article generalizes the theory of shifted symplectic structures to the relative context and non-geometric stacks. We describe basic constructions that naturally appear in this theory: shifted cotangent bundles and the AKSZ procedure.…
Let $G$ be a group, define an equivalence relation $\sim$ as below: $$\forall \ g, h \in G, \ g \sim h \Longleftrightarrow |g| = |h|$$ the set of sizes of equivalence classes with respect to this relation is called the same-order type of…
Quandles are certain algebraic structures showing up in different mathematical contexts. A group $G$ with the conjugation operation forms a quandle, $\operatorname{Conj}(G)$. In the opposite direction, one can construct a group…
Let $\mathcal{S}$ be a finite thick generalized quadrangle, and suppose that $G$ is an automorphism group of $\mathcal{S}$. If $G$ acts primitively on both the points and lines of $\mathcal{S}$, then it is known that $G$ must be almost…
A wide class of skew derivations on degree-one generalized Weyl algebras $R(a,\varphi)$ over a ring $R$ is constructed. All these derivations are twisted by a degree-counting extensions of automorphisms of $R$. It is determined which of the…
We describe a structure over the complex numbers associated with the non-commutative algebra Aq called quantum 2-tori. These turn out to have uncountably categorical L_omega1,omega-theory, and are similar to other pseudo-analytic structures…
For simple twisted group algebra over a group $G$, if $G^{\shortmid}$ is Hall subgroup of $G$ then the semi-center is simple. Simple twisted groups algebras correspond to groups of central type. We classify all groups of central type of…
In this article, we realize skew-gentle algebras as skew-tiling algebras associated to admissible partial triangulations of punctured marked surfaces. Based on this, we establish a bijection between tagged permissible curves and certain…
