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…

Guo and Xu determined the maximum size of intersecting families over finite affine spaces and showed that any family reaches maximum size must be trivial. In this paper, we characterize non-trivial intersecting family with maximum size.

In this paper, we determine the diameter of the commuting involution graphs of special and general linear groups over an arbitrary field. It turns out that our results also determine the diameter for certain projective special linear groups…

A recurring theme in finite group theory is understanding how the structure of a finite group is determined by the arithmetic properties of group invariants. There are results in the literature determining the structure of finite groups…

We construct infinitely many noncommensurable non-cocompact Fuchsian groups $\Delta$ of finite covolume sitting in PSL(2,Q) so that the set of hyperbolic fixed points of $\Delta$ will contain a given finite collection of elements in the…

In this paper, we describe the structure of maximal non-trivial uniform $t$-intersecting families with large size for finite sets. In the special case when $t=1$, our result gives rise to Kostochka and Mubayi's result in 2017.

We provide a new upper bound on the number of conjugacy classes in the group $U_n(q)$ of unitriangular matrices over a finite field. We also compute a similar upper bound for every group in the lower central series of $U_n(q)$.

Cameron, et al. determined the maximum size of a null subsemigroup of the full transformation semigroup $\mathcal{T}(X)$ on a finite set $X$ and provided a description of the null semigroups that achieve that size. In this paper we extend…

The paper is concerned with the character theory of finite groups of Lie type. The irreducible characters of a group $G$ of Lie type are partitioned in Lusztig series. We provide a simple formula for an upper bound of the maximal size of a…

We study irreducible unitary \reps of $U_q(SO(2,1))$ and $U_q(SO(2,3))$ for $q$ a root of unity, which are finite dimensional. Among others, unitary \reps corresponding to all classical one-particle representations with integral weights are…

A family of subsets $\mathcal{F} \subseteq \mathcal{P}(\{1, 2, \ldots, n\})$ has the disparate union property if any two disjoint subfamilies $\mathcal{F}_1, \mathcal{F}_2 \subseteq \mathcal{F}$ have distinct unions $\bigcup \mathcal{F}_1…

Let $G$ be a non-abelian group. The non-commuting graph $\mathcal{A}_G$ of $G$ is defined as the graph whose vertex set is the non-central elements of $G$ and two vertices are joint if and only if they do not commute. In a finite simple…

Let $p$ be a prime and $q = p^k$. A subset $\mathcal{F} \subset \operatorname{\Gamma L}_{2}(q)$ is intersecting if any two semilinear transformations in $\mathcal{F}$ agree on some non-zero vector in $\mathbb{F}_q^2$. We show that any…

Noncompact forms of the Drinfeld-Jimbo quantum groups U_q(g) with (H_i)* = H_i, (X_i^{+-})* = s_i X_i^{-+} for s_i= +-1 are studied at roots of unity. This covers g = so(n,2p), su(n,p), so*(2l), sp(n,p), sp(l,R), and exceptional cases.…

We give an upper bound for the essential dimension of a smooth unipotent algebraic group over an arbitrary field. We also show that over a field $k$ which is finitely generated over a perfect field, a smooth unipotent algebraic $k$-group is…

A family of subsets of the set {1,2,...,n} is said to be unbalanced if the convex hull of its characteristic vectors misses the diagonal in the n-cube.The purpose of this article is to develop the combinatorics of maximal unbalanced…

Let $\mathcal{F}$ be a family of subsets of $[n]=\{1,\ldots,n\}$ and let $L$ be a set of nonnegative integers. The family $\mathcal{F}$ is \emph{$L$-intersecting} if $|F\cap F'|\in L$ for every two distinct members $F,F'\in\mathcal{F}$; and…

There are two known families of maximum scattered $\mathbb{F}_q$-linear sets in $PG(1,q^t)$: the linear sets of pseudoregulus type and for $t\geq 4$ the scattered linear sets found by Lunardon and Polverino. For $t=4$ we show that these are…

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…
