Let $ G $ be a connected reductive algebraic group and its symmetric subgroup $ K $. The variety $ \dblFV = K/Q \times G/P $ is called a double flag variety, where $ Q $ and $ P $ are parabolic subgroups of $ K $ and $ G $ respectively. In…

In this paper we examine curves defined over a field of characteristic 2 which are $(\ZZ/2\ZZ)^2$-covers of the projective line. In particular, we prove which 2-ranks occur for such curves of a given genus and where possible we give…

We describe the lower algebraic $K$-theory of the integral group ring of both the pure and full braid groups of the real projective plane $\mathbb{R}P^2$ with $3$ strings, as well as that of the integral group ring of the mapping class…

This paper completes the classification of nets of conics containing at least one double line in $\mathrm{PG}(2,q)$ for $q$ even. This classification contributes to the classification of partially symmetric tensors in $\mathbb{F}_q^3…

We study the singularities of the projective dual variety.

We introduce the concept of linked systems of symmetric group divisible designs. The connection with association schemes is established, and as a consequence we obtain an upper bound on the number of symmetric group divisible designs which…

This paper is an addition to the book [54] on Compact projective planes. Such planes, if connected and finite-dimensional, have a point space of topological dimension 2, 4, 8, or 16, the classical example in the last case being the…

We study the problem of classifying the lines of the projective $3$-space $PG(3,q)$ over a finite field $GF(q)$ into orbits of the group $G=PGL(2,q)$ of linear symmetries of the twisted cubic $C$. A generic line neither intersects $C$ nor…

We show a one-to-one correspondence between arrangements of d lines in the projective plane, and lines in P^{d-2}. We apply this correspondence to classify (3,q)-nets over the complex numbers for all q<=6. When q=6, we have twelve possible…

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 give a characterization of limits of dihedral groups in the space of finitely generated marked groups. We also describe the topological closure of dihedral groups in the space of marked groups on a fixed number of generators.

We discuss representations of the projective line over a ring $R$ with 1 in a projective space over some (not necessarily commutative) field $K$. Such a representation is based upon a $(K,R)$-bimodule $U$. The points of the projective line…

We delineate the image of multilinear Lie polynomial of degree $2$ evaluated on $L$ where $L$ is a finite-dimensional nilpotent Lie algebra over field $k$ with $\dim L' \leq 4$.

Every maximum scattered linear set in $\mathrm{PG}(1,q^5)$ is the projection of an $\mathbb{F}_q$-subgeometry $\Sigma$ of $\mathrm{PG}(4,q^5)$ from a plane $\Gamma$ external to the secant variety to $\Sigma$. The pair $(\Gamma,\Sigma)$ will…

In the paper a concept of a double symmetry is introduced, and its qualitative characteristics and rigorous definitions are given. We describe two ways to construct the double-symmetric field theories and present an example demonstrating…

We give a complete description of conjugacy classes of finite subgroups of the mapping class group of the sphere with r marked points. As a corollary we obtain a description of conjugacy classes of maximal finite subgroups of the…

Let $G$ be a finite group. The group pseudo-algebra of $G$ is defined as the multi-set $C(G)=\{(d,m_G(d))\mid d\in{\rm Cod}(G)\},$ where $m_G(d)$ is the number of irreducible characters of with codegree $d\in {\rm Cod}(G)$. We show that…

In this paper we develop several general methods for analysing flag-transitive point-imprimitive $2$-designs, which give restrictions on both the automorphisms and parameters of such designs. These constitute a tool-kit for analysing these…

We construct two combinatorially equivalent line arrangements in the complex projective plane such that the fundamental groups of their complements are not isomorphic. The proof uses a new invariant of the fundamental group of the…

Projective spaces for finite-dimensional vector spaces over general fields are considered. The geometry of these spaces and the theory of line bundles over these spaces is presented. Particularly, the space of global regular sections of…
