In this paper, we give a classification of regular maps with Euler characteristic $-pq$ for distinct primes $q>p\geq 5$. This together with previous classification of regular maps with Euler characteristic $-2p,-3p$ and $-p^2$ completes the…

According to a computer search conducted by the author and described in [7], in $Q^+(6, 4)$ there are two types of hyperovals, having 72 and 96 points, respectively. Here we give geometric descriptions for these examples.

Using the Klein correspondence, regular parallelisms of PG(3,R) have been described by Betten and Riesinger in terms of a dual object, called a hyperflock determining (hfd) line set. In the special case where this set has a span of…

This article first introduces the concept of a general pseudo-homogeneous triangular norm. It then gives some properties of general pseudo-homogeneous triangular norms. Finally, it characterizes all general pseudo-homogeneous triangular…

A polygonal surface in the pseudo-hyperbolic space H^(2,n) is a complete maximal surface bounded by a lightlike polygon in the Einstein universe Ein^(1,n) with finitely many vertices. In this article, we give several characterizations of…

Let $q(H)$ be the signless Laplacian spectral radius of a graph $H$. In this paper, we prove that \\1. Let $H$ be a proper subgraph of a $\Delta$-regular graph $G$ with $n$ vertices and diameter $D$. Then $$2\Delta -…

This article considers an F_q-conic contained in an F_q-subplane of PG(2,q^3), and shows that it corresponds to a normal rational curve in the Bruck-Bose representation in PG(6,q). This article then characterises which normal rational…

We introduce a notion of an algebra of generalized pseudo-differential operators and prove that a spectral triple is regular if and only if it admits an algebra of generalized pseudo-differential operators. We also provide a self-contained…

The class of the hypercomplex pseudo-Hermitian manifolds is considered. The flatness of the considered manifolds with the 3 parallel complex structures is proved. Conformal transformations of the metrics are introduced. The conformal…

We present a full geometric characterization of the $1$-dimensional (semialgebraic) images $S$ of either $n$-dimensional closed balls $\overline{\mathcal B}_n\subset{\mathbb R}^n$ or $n$-dimensional spheres ${\mathbb S}^n\subset{\mathbb…

We introduce orthogonal ring patterns in the 2-sphere and in the hyperbolic plane, consisting of pairs of concentric circles, which generalize circle patterns. We show that their radii are described by a discrete integrable system. This is…

In this note, we use the theory of Desarguesian spreads to investigate good eggs. Thas showed that an egg in $\mathrm{PG}(4n-1, q)$, $q$ odd, with two good elements is elementary. By a short combinatorial argument, we show that a similar…

In this paper, we study translation hyperovals in PG$(2,q^k)$. The main result of this paper characterises the point sets defined by translation hyperovals in the Andr\'e/Bruck-Bose representation. We show that the affine point sets of…

We investigate a question of Cooper adjacent to the Virtual Haken Conjecture. Assuming certain conjectures in number theory, we show that there exist hyperbolic rational homology 3-spheres with arbitrarily large injectivity radius. These…

Motivated by the theory of isoparametric hypersurfaces, we study submanifolds whose tubular hypersurfaces have some constant "higher order mean curvatures". Here a $k$-th order mean curvature $Q_k$ ($k\geq1$) of a hypersurface $M^n$ is…

Let $\mathcal{P}_{\kappa_1}^{\kappa_2}(\boldsymbol{P}, \boldsymbol{Q})$ denote the set of $C^1$ regular curves in the $2$-sphere $\mathbb{S}^2$ that start and end at given points with the corresponding Frenet frames $\boldsymbol{P}$ and…

Jean-Pierre Serre has conjectured Conj. 3.2.1, in the context of abelian varieties, that there are infinitely primes of good ordinary reduction for a smooth, projective variety over a number field. We prove this conjecture for K3 surfaces…

This article looks at subconics of order $q$ of $PG(2,q^2)$ and characterizes them in the Bruck-Bose representation in $PG(4,q)$. In common with other objects in the Bruck-Bose representation, the characterisation uses the transversals of…

We show that for fixed $d>3$ and $n$ growing to infinity there are at least $(n!)^{d-2 \pm o(1)}$ different labeled combinatorial types of $d$-polytopes with $n$ vertices. This is about the square of the previous best lower bounds. As an…

We classify the orbits of solids in the projective space $\text{PG}(5,q)$, $q$ even, under the setwise stabiliser $K \cong \text{PGL}(3,q)$ of the Veronese surface. For each orbit, we provide an explicit representative $S$ and determine two…
