In this paper we prove that the $P(q,\ell)$ ($q$ odd prime power and $\ell>1$ odd) commutative semifields constructed by Bierbrauer in \cite{BierbrauerSub} are isotopic to some commutative presemifields constructed by Budaghyan and…
In [U. Dempwolff: \textit{More Translation Planes and Semifields from Dembowski-Ostrom Polynomials}, Designs, Codes, Cryptogr. \textbf{68} (1-3) (2013), 81--103] three classes of rank two presemifields of order $q^{2n}$, with $q$ and $n$…
In [U. Dempwolff: More Translation Planes and Semifields from Dembowski-Ostrom Polynomials, Designs, Codes, Cryptogr. \textbf{68} (1-3) (2013), 81-103], the author gives a construction of three classes of rank two semifields of order…
In this article we introduce the notion of the BEL-rank of a finite semifield, prove that it is an invariant for the isotopism classes, and give geometric and algebraic interpretations of this new invariant. Moreover, we describe an…
We present an example of two isotopic but not strongly isotopic commutative semifields. This example shows that a recent result of Coulter and Henderson on semifield of order p^n, n odd, can not be generalized to the case n even.
The Menichetti-Kaplansky theorem states that a finite semifield that is three-dimensional over its center is either a field or a twisted field of Albert. This implies that a quadratic homogeneous bijection of $\mathbb{P}^2(\mathbb{F}_q)$ is…
Like categories, small 2-categories have well-understood classifying spaces. In this paper, we deal with homotopy types represented by 2-diagrams of 2-categories. Our results extend to homotopy colimits of 2-functors lower categorical…
We completely determine the autotopism group of the (as of now) largest family of commutative semifields found by G\"olo\u{g}lu and K\"olsch. Since this family of semifields generally does not have large nuclei, this process is considerably…
We construct a link in the $3$-space that is not isotopic to any PL link (non-ambiently). In fact, there exist uncountably many $I$-equivalence classes of links. The paper also includes some observations on Cochran's invariants $\beta_i$.
Permutation polynomials over finite fields play important roles in finite fields theory. They also have wide applications in many areas of science and engineering such as coding theory, cryptography, combinatorial design, communication…
We present new classes of permutation polynomials over finite fields.
We give a combinatorial construction of an ordered semiring A, and show that it can be identified with a certain subquotient of the semiring of p-local Bousfield classes, containing almost all of the classes that have previously been named…
R. Gupta, P. Gahlyan and R.K. Sharma presented three classes of permutation trinomials over $\mathbb{F}_{q^3}$ in Finite Fields and Their Applications. In this paper, we employ the local method to prove that those polynomials are indeed…
Skew polynomial rings were used to construct finite semifields by Petit in 1966, following from a construction of Ore and Jacobson of associative division algebras. In 1989 Jha and Johnson constructed the so-called cyclic semifields,…
Budaghyan and Carlet constructed a family of almost perfect nonlinear (APN) hexanomials over a field with r^2 elements, and with terms of degrees r+1, s+1, rs+1, rs+r, rs+s, and r+s, where r = 2^m and s = 2^n with GCD(m,n)=1. The…
We give homotopy invariant definitions corresponding to three well known properties of complete intersections, for the ring, the module theory and the endomorphisms of the residue field, and we investigate them for the mod p cochains on a…
We consider L-infinity quasi-isomorphisms for Hochschild cochains whose structure maps admit "graphical expansion". We introduce the notion of stable formality quasi-isomorphism which formalizes such an L-infinity quasi-isomorphism. We…
We study Hoeffding decomposable exchangeable sequences with values in a finite set D. We provide a new combinatorial characterization of Hoeffding decomposability and use this result to show that, if the cardinality of D is strictly greater…
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…
