In this short note we prove that the finite non-abelian simple groups PSL(2,q), where q = 5,7, are determined by their posets of classes of isomorphic subgroups. In particular, this disproves the conjecture in the end of [5].

We prove a new extension result for $QB-$rings that allows us to examine extensions of rings where the ideal is purely infinite and simple. We then use this result to explore various constructions that provide new examples of $QB-$rings.…

For two varieties of dimension $5$ constructed as double covers of ${\mathbb P}^5$ branched along the union of $12$ hyperplanes, we prove that the number of points over ${\mathbb F}_p$ can be expressed in terms of Artin symbols and the…

We study a local description of composite five-branes of codimension two. The formulation is constructed by virtue of $SL(2,{\mathbb Z}) \times SL(2,{\mathbb Z)}$ monodromy associated with two-torus. Applying conjugate monodromy…

Let k be a definable L-cardinal. Then there is a set of reals X, class-generic over L, such that L(X) and L have the same cardinals, X has size k in L(X) and some pi-1-2 formula defines X in all set-generic extensions of L(X). Two…

A $4$-general set in ${\rm PG}(n,q)$ is a set of points of ${\rm PG}(n,q)$ spanning the whole ${\rm PG}(n,q)$ and such that no four of them are on a plane. Such a pointset is said to be complete if it is not contained in a larger…

We construct a set of points with $\Omega(n^2\log n)$ triples determining an angle $\theta$ whenever $\tan(\theta)$ is algebraic over $\mathbb{Q}$, matching the upper bound of Pach and Sharir. This improves upon the original construction,…

Given a set $P$ of $n$ points in the plane, where $n$ is even, we consider the following question: How many plane perfect matchings can be packed into $P$? We prove that at least $\lceil\log_2{n}\rceil-2$ plane perfect matchings can be…

Let $X$ be an arbitrary set and let $T(X)$ denote the full transformation monoid on $X$. We prove that an element of $T(X)$ is unit-regular if and only if it is semi-balanced. For infinite $X$, we discuss regularity of the submonoid of…

The group $PGL(2,q)$ has an embedding into $PGL(3,q)$ such that it acts as the group fixing a nonsingular conic in $PG(2,q)$. This action affords a coherent configuration $R(q)$ on the set $L(q)$ of non-tangent lines of the conic. We show…

A classification theorem is given of smooth threefolds of $\Bbb P^5$ covered by a family of dimension at least three of plane integral curves of degree $d\geq 2.$ It is shown that for such a threefold $X$ there are two possibilities:…

There exists just one regular polytope of rank larger than 3 whose full automorphism group is a projective general linear group PGL_2(q), for some prime-power q. This polytope is the 4-simplex and the corresponding group is PGL_2(5), which…

We generalize the example of linear set presented by the last two authors in "Vertex properties of maximum scattered linear sets of $\mathrm{PG}(1,q^n)$" (2019) to a more general family, proving that such linear sets are maximum scattered…

We show that each connected component of the moduli space of smooth real binary quintics is isomorphic to an open subset of an arithmetic quotient of the real hyperbolic plane. Moreover, our main result says that the induced metric on this…

Let $p$ be a prime. In this short note we study some families of super congruences involving the following alternating sums \begin{equation*} \sum_{\substack{j_1+j_2+\cdots+j_n=2 p^r p\nmid j_1 j_2 \cdots j_n}}…

Let G be a plane graph with outer cycle C, let u,v be vertices of C and let (L(x):x in V(G)) be a family of sets such that |L(u)|=|L(v)|=2, L(x) has at least three elements for every vertex x of C-{u,v} and L(x) has at least five elements…

The main purpose of this paper is to find double blocking sets in $\mathrm{PG}(2,q)$ of size less than $3q$, in particular when $q$ is prime. To this end, we study double blocking sets in $\mathrm{PG}(2,q)$ of size $3q-1$ admitting at least…

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…

Let $X$ be a convex curve in the plane (say, the unit circle), and let $\mathcal S$ be a family of planar convex bodies, such that every two of them meet at a point of $X$. Then $\mathcal S$ has a transversal $N\subset\mathbb R^2$ of size…
