A linear system is a pair $(X,\mathcal{F})$ where $\mathcal{F}$ is a finite family of subsets on a ground set $X$, and it satisfies that $|A\cap B|\leq 1$ for every pair of distinct subsets $A,B \in \mathcal{F}$. As an example of a linear…
We study the linear algebra of finite subsets $S$ of a Segre variety $X$. In particular we classify the pairs $(S,X)$ with $S$ linear dependent and $\#(S)\le 5$. We consider an additional condition for linear dependent sets (no two of their…
Two $G$-sets ($G$ a finite group) are called linearly equivalent over a commutative ring $k$ if the permutation representations $k[X]$ and $k[Y]$ are isomorphic as modules over the group algebra $kG$. Pairs of linearly equivalent…
To determine if two lists of numbers are the same set, we sort both lists and see if we get the same result. The sorted list is a canonical form for the equivalence relation of set equality. Other canonical forms arise in graph isomorphism…
Recently, a lower bound was established on the size of linear sets in projective spaces, that intersect a hyperplane in a canonical subgeometry. There are several constructions showing that this bound is tight. In this paper, we generalize…
Consider two symmetric $3 \times 3$ matrices $A$ and $B$ with entries in $GF(q)$, for $q=p^n$, $p$ an odd prime. The zero sets of $v^T Av$ and $v^T Bv$ can be viewed as (possibly degenerate) conics in the finite projective coordinate plane…
New examples of Cameron-Liebler line classes in $\mathrm{PG}(3,q)$ are given with parameter $\frac{1}{2}(q^2 -1)$. These examples have been constructed for many odd values of $q$ using a computer search, by forming a union of line orbits…
We generically construct a model in which the $\bf{\Sigma^1_3}$-separation property is true, i.e. every pair of disjoint $\bf{\Sigma^1_3}$-sets can be separated by a $\bf{\Delta^1_3}$-definable set. This answers an old question from the…
We prove that if X is any 2-regular projective scheme (in the sense of Castelnuovo-Mumford) then X is "small". This means that if L is a linear space and Y:= L\cap X is finite, then Y is "linearly independent" in the sense that the…
In [A. Neri, P. Santonastaso, F. Zullo. Extending two families of maximum rank distance codes], the authors extended the family of $2$-dimensional $\mathbb{F}_{q^{2t}}$-linear MRD codes recently found in [G. Longobardi, G. Marino, R.…
These notes give an introduction to the equivalence problem of sub-Riemannian manifolds. We first introduce preliminaries in terms of connections, frame bundles and sub-Riemannian geometry. Then we arrive to the main aim of these notes,…
The equivalence problem of $\mathbb{F}_q$-linear sets of rank n of $PG(1,q^n)$ is investigated, also in terms of the associated variety, projecting configurations, $\mathbb{F}_q$-linear blocking sets of R\'edei type and MRD-codes.
Two subsets $S$ and $T$ of $\mathbb{F}_2^n$ are \textit{affinely equivalent} if there is an affine automorphism of $\mathbb{F}_2^n$ taking $S$ to $T$. Given a basis of the affine span of $S$, we can construct a Venn diagram whose regions…
We define the splash of a subgeometry on a projective line, extending the definition of \cite{BaJa13} to general dimension and prove that a splash is always a linear set. We also prove the converse: each linear set on a projective line is…
In spite of its many successes, the Standard Model makes many empirical assumptions in the Higgs and fermion sectors for which a deeper theoretical basis is sought. Starting from the usual gauge symmetry $u(1) \times su(2) \times su(3)$…
We show that the superconformal symmetries of the (1,1) sigma model decompose into a set of more refined symmetries when the target space admits projectors $P_{\pm}$, and the orthogonal complements $Q_{\pm}$, covariantly constant with…
A treatment in a neighborhood and at a point of the equivalence principle on the basis of derivations of the tensor algebra over a manifold is given. Necessary and sufficient conditions are given for the existence of local bases, called…
Let $A$ be an Artinian Gorenstein algebra over an infinite field $k$ with either $\hbox{char}(k)=0$ or $\hbox{char}(k)>\nu$, where $\nu$ is the socle degree of $A$. To every such algebra and a linear projection $\pi$ on its maximal ideal…
In this paper, we study a class $\mathcal{A}(\lambda ,n,m)$ of self-similar sets with $m$ exact overlaps generated by $n$ similitudes of the same ratio $ \lambda $. We obtain a necessary condition for a self-similar set in…
In this paper we consider two pointsets in $\mathrm{PG}(2,q^n)$ arising from a linear set $L$ of rank $n$ contained in a line of $\mathrm{PG}(2,q^n)$: the first one is a linear blocking set of R\'edei type, the second one extends the…
