Segre's theorem on ovals in projective spaces is an ingenious result from the mid-twentieth century which requires surprisingly little background to prove. This note, suitable for undergraduates with experience of linear and abstract…
Arcs and caps are fundamental structures in finite projective spaces. They can be generalised. Here, a survey is given of some important results on these objects, in particular on generalised ovals and generalised ovoids. The paper also…
We prove a general counting result for arcs of the same type in compact surfaces. Wealso count infinite arcs in cusped surfaces and arcs in orbifolds. These theorems are derived from aresult that guarantees the convergence of certain…
An arc is a set of vectors of the $k$-dimensional vector space over the finite field with $q$ elements ${\mathbb F}_q$, in which every subset of size $k$ is a basis of the space, i.e. every $k$-subset is a set of linearly independent…
We establish some basic properties of quotients of projective Fra\"iss\'e limits and exhibit some classes of compact metric spaces that are the quotient of a projective Fra\"iss\'e limit of a projective Fra\"iss\'e family in a finite…
This is a survey article on some recent developments in the arithmetic theory of linear algebraic groups over higher-dimensional fields, written for the Notices of the AMS.
A k-arc in a Dearguesian projective plane whose secants meet some external line in k-1 points is said to be hyperfocused. Hyperfocused arcs are investigated in connection with a secret sharing scheme based on geometry due to Simmons. In…
We study the projections in vector spaces over finite fields. We prove finite fields analogues of the bounds on the dimensions of the exceptional sets for Euclidean projection mapping. We provide examples which do not have exceptional…
The subject of this paper is the study of small complete arcs in $\mathrm{PG}(2,q)$, for $q$ odd, with at least $(q+1)/2$ points on a conic. We give a short comprehensive proof of the completeness problem left open by Segre in his seminal…
A recent paper showed how to find sets of finite affine or projective planes constructed on a common set of points, so that lines of one plane meet lines of a different plane in at most two points. In this paper, those results are…
We introduce a notion of embedding codimension of an arbitrary local ring, establish some general properties, and study in detail the case of arc spaces of schemes of finite type over a field. Viewing the embedding codimension as a measure…
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…
An introductory theory of frames on finite dimensional quaternion Hilbert spaces is demonstrated along the lines of their complex counterpart.
In this paper, we give a survey of the known results concerning the tensor rank of the multiplication in finite extensions of finite fields, enriched with some not published recent results as well as analyzes enhancing the qualitative…
This paper focuses on the proof of Serge Lang's Heights Conjecture in a form that is completely effective. As a complementary result the author provides a new proof of Mazur-Merel theorem about a bound for the torsion of elliptic curves in…
In this note we consider a question related to the high-dimensional generalization of the classical Severi's finiteness theorem for curves. We will introduce some background and then state the main result. The proof of the main result is…
This is a survey article on the theory of lattice points in large planar domains and bodies of dimensions 3 and higher, with an emphasis on recent developments and new methods, including a lot of results established only during the last few…
We explore the existence of irreducible and reducible arc-sections in an irreducible hypersurface singularity germ along finite projections. In particular we provide examples of irreducible isolated hypersurface singularities for which no…
Geyer and Jarden proved several results for torsion points of elliptic curves defined over the fixed field by finitely many elements in the absolute Galois group of a finitely generated field over the prime field in its algebraic closure.…
The aim of this project is to attach a geometric structure to the ring of integers. It is generally assumed that the spectrum $\mathrm{Spec}(\mathbb{Z})$ defined by Grothendieck serves this purpose. However, it is still not clear what…
