Due to the applications in network coding, subspace codes and designs have received many attentions. Suppose that $k\mid n$ and $V(n,q)$ is an $n$-dimensional space over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_{q}$. A $k$-spread is a…

Let $X\subset P^N$ be an n-dimensional connected projective submanifold of projective space. Let $p : P^N\to P^{N-q-1}$ denote the projection from a linear $P^q\subset P^N$. Assuming that $X\not\subset P^q$ we have the induced rational…

This work focuses on higgledy-piggledy sets of $k$-subspaces in $\text{PG}(N,q)$, i.e. sets of projective subspaces that are 'well-spread-out'. More precisely, the set of intersection points of these $k$-subspaces with any $(N-k)$-subspace…

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a simple undirected graph with $n$ vertices then a set partition $\pi=\{V_1, ..., V_k\}$ of the vertex set of $G$ is a connected set partition if each subgraph $G[V_j]$ induced by the blocks $V_j$ of $\pi$ is connected for…

In this manuscript, we consider decoding Grassmann codes, linear codes associated to Grassmannian of planes in an affine space. We look at the orbit structure of Grassmannian arising from the natural action of multiplicative group of…

The (left coalgebra) line bundle associated to the quantum Hopf fibration of any quantum two-sphere is shown to be a finitely generated projective module. The corresponding projector is constructed and its monopole charge is computed. It is…

Based on ideas of K\"otter and Kschischang we use constant dimension subspaces as codewords in a network. We show a connection to the theory of q-analogues of a combinatorial designs, which has been studied in Braun, Kerber and Laue as a…

Given a finite field F_q and a positive integer n, a flag is a sequence of nested F_q-subspaces of a vector space F_q^n and a flag code is a nonempty collection of flags. The projected codes of a flag code are the constant dimension codes…

We discuss the Grassmann graph $J_q(N,D)$ with $N \geq 2D$, having as vertices the $D$-dimensional subspaces of an $N$-dimensional vector space over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$. This graph is distance-regular with diameter $D$; to avoid…

Projective connections arise from equivalence classes of affine connections under the reparametrization of geodesics. They may also be viewed as quotient systems of the classical geodesic equation. After studying the link between integrals…

For any two disjoint oriented circles embedded into the 3-dimensional real projective space, we construct a 3-dimensional configuration space and its map to the projective space such that the linking number of the circles is the half of the…

Let $V$ be an $n$-dimensional left vector space over a division ring $R$. We write ${\mathcal G}_{k}(V)$ for the Grassmannian formed by $k$-dimensional subspaces of $V$ and denote by $\Gamma_{k}(V)$ the associated Grassmann graph. Let also…

In this paper we study the connectivity properties of the random subgraph of the $n$-cube generated by the $k$-out model and denoted by $Q^n(k)$. Let $k$ be an integer, $1\leq k \leq n-1$. We let $Q^n(k)$ be the graph that is generated by…

Let $G$ be the Grassmannian $G(d,n)$, let $X$ and $Y$ be complete irreducible varieties, and let $X\rightarrow G$ and $Y\rightarrow G$ be morphisms. Hansen proved that $X \times_G Y$ is connected when $codim f(X) + codim g(Y) < n$. We show…

In this survey we overview known results on the strong subgraph $k$-connectivity and strong subgraph $k$-arc-connectivity of digraphs. After an introductory section, the paper is divided into four sections: basic results, algorithms and…

The main result of the present paper is that the projective line over a ring $R$ is connected with respect to the relation "distant" if, and only if, $R$ is a $GE_2$-ring.

In a recent paper [J. Combin. Theory Ser. B}, 113 (2015), pp. 1-17], the authors have extended the concept of quadrangulation of a surface to higher dimension, and showed that every quadrangulation of the $n$-dimensional projective space…

Directed graphs are ubiquitous models for networks, and topological spaces they generate, such as the directed flag complex, have become useful objects in applied topology. The simplices are formed from directed cliques. We extend Atkin's…

In this article we investigate the structure of uniformly $k$-connected and uniformly $k$-edge-connected graphs. Whereas both types have previously been studied independent of each other, we analyze relations between these two classes. We…

In their 2007 book, Tsfasman and Vl\v{a}du\c{t} invite the reader to reinterpret existing coding theory results through the lens of projective systems. Redefining linear codes as projective systems provides a geometric vantage point. In…
