Let $\text{PG}(n,q)$ be the Desarguesian projective space of dimension $n$ over the finite field of order $q$. The \emph{linear representation} of a point set $\mathcal{K}$ in a hyperplane at infinity of $\text{PG}(n,q)$ is the point-line…

In this article we analyze the notions of amenability and paradoxical decomposition from an algebraic perspective. We consider this dichotomy for locally finite extended metric spaces and for general algebras over commutative fields. In the…

Let $q=2^m$ with $m\ge 3$ and set $n:=q+1$. We investigate $(q+1)$-arcs $\mathcal A\subset \mathrm{PG}(3,q)$ that admit a regular cyclic subgroup $C\le \mathrm{PGL}(4,q)$ of order $n$. Over $K=\mathbb{F}_{q^2}$, such an action can be…

Let $\mathrm{PG}(3, q)$ denote the three-dimensional projective space over the finite field with $q$ elements. A line-spread of $\mathrm{PG}(3, q)$ is a collection $\mathcal{S}$ of mutually skew lines such that every point of…

Pseudo-arcs are the higher dimensional analogues of arcs in a projective plane: a pseudo-arc is a set $\mathcal{A}$ of $(n-1)$-spaces in $\mathrm{PG}(3n-1,q)$ such that any three span the whole space. Pseudo-arcs of size $q^n+1$ are called…

In each of the three projective planes coordinatised by the Knuth's binary semifield $\mathbb{K}_n$ of order $2^n$ and two of its Knuth derivatives, we exhibit a new family of infinitely many translation hyperovals. In particular, when…

Using the theory of Diophantine m-tuples, i.e. sets with the property that the product of its any two distinct elements increased by 1 is a perfect square, we construct an elliptic curve over Q(t) of rank at least 4 with three non-trivial…

We give a unified description of our recent results on the the inter-relationship between the integrable infinite KP hierarchy, nonlinear $\hat{W}_{\infty}$ current algebra and conformal noncompact $SL(2,R)/U(1)$ coset model both at the…

Let D be a simply laced Dynkin diagram of rank r whose affinization has the shape of a star (i.e., D4,E6,E7,E8). To such a diagram one can attach a group G whose generators correspond to the legs of the affinization, have orders equal to…

We classify the possible torsion structures of rational elliptic curves over quintic number fields. In addition, let E be an elliptic curve defined over Q and let G = E(Q)_tors be the associated torsion subgroup. We study, for a given G,…

Let E be an elliptic curve defined over Q and let G = E(Q)_tors be the associated torsion subgroup. We study, for a given G, which possible groups G <= H could appear such that H=E(K)_tors, for [K:Q]=4 and H is one of the possible torsion…

We consider the question of when a Jacobian of a curve of genus $2g$ admits a $(2,2)$-isogeny to two polarized dimension $g$ abelian varieties. We find that one of them must be a Jacobian itself and, if the associated curve is…

We find new examples of complex surfaces with countably many non-isomorphic algebraic structures. Here is one such example: take an elliptic curve $E$ in $\mathbb P^2$ and blow up nine general points on $E$. Then the complement $M$ of the…

A method is proposed in this paper to construct a new extended q-deformed KP ($q$-KP) hiearchy and its Lax representation. This new extended $q$-KP hierarchy contains two types of q-deformed KP equation with self-consistent sources, and its…

We provide classification results for translation generalized quadrangles of order less or equal to $64$, and hence, for all incidence geometries related to them. The results consist of the classification of all pseudo-ovals in…

In a projective plane $\Pi_q$ of order $q$, a non-empty point set ${\cal S}_t$ is a $t$-semiarc if the number of tangent lines to ${\cal S}_t$ at each of its points is $t$. If ${\cal S}_t$ is a $t$-semiarc in $\Pi_q$, $t<q$, then each line…

We consider the problem of classifying quadruples $(K,E,m_1,m_2)$ where $K$ is a number field, $E$ is an elliptic curve defined over $K$ and $(m_1,m_2)$ is a pair of relatively prime positive integers for which the intersection $K(E[m_1])…

The existence of ovals and hyperovals is an old question in the theory of non-Desarguesian planes. The aim of this paper is to describe when a conic of ${\rm PG}(2,q)$ remains an arc in the Hall plane obtained by derivation. Some…

Let $d$ be a positive integer, $\mathbb K$ an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0 and $ X$ an elliptic curve defined over K. We study the hyperelliptic curves equipped with a projection over $ X$, such that the natural image of $…

Let $E$ be a set of solids (hyperplanes) in $PG(4,q)$, $q$ even, $q>2$, such that every point of $PG(4,q)$ lies in either $0$, $\frac12q^3$ or $\frac12(q^3-q^2)$ solids of $E$, and every plane of $PG(4,q)$ lies in either $0$, $\frac12q$ or…
