It is known that certain theories with extended supersymmetry can be discretized in such a way as to preserve an exact fermionic symmetry. In the simplest model of this kind, we show that this residual supersymmetric invariance is actually…

A subspace of matrices over $\mathbb{F}_{q^e}^{m\times n}$ can be naturally embedded as a subspace of matrices in $\mathbb{F}_q^{em\times en}$ with the property that the rank of any of its matrix is a multiple of $e$. It is quite natural to…
Let $U$ and $V$ be finite-dimensional vector spaces over a (commutative) field $\mathbb{K}$, and $\mathcal{S}$ be a linear subspace of the space $\mathcal{L}(U,V)$ of all linear operators from $U$ to $V$. A map $F : \mathcal{S} \rightarrow…
