In this paper we apply the previously derived formalism of permutation orbifold conformal field theories to N=2 supersymmetric minimal models. By interchanging extensions and permutations of the factors we find a very interesting structure…

Permutations over $F_{2^{2k}}$ with low differential uniform, high algebraic degree and high nonlinearity are of great cryptographical importance since they can be chosen as the substitution boxes (S-boxes) for many block ciphers. A well…

For each prime p other than 3, and each power q=p^k, we present two large classes of permutation polynomials over F_{q^2} of the form X^r B(X^{q-1}) which have at most five terms, where B(X) is a polynomial with coefficients in {1,-1}. The…

We discuss the second-order differential uniformity of vectorial Boolean functions. The closely related notion of second-order zero differential uniformity has recently been studied in connection to resistance to the boomerang attack. We…

We complete the rules of translation between standard complex quantum mechanics (CQM) and quaternionic quantum mechanics (QQM) with a complex geometry. In particular we describe how to reduce ($2n$+$1$)-dimensional complex matrices to {\em…

In this paper, a class of fractals, called quadrilateral labyrinth fractals, are introduced and studied. They are a special kind of fractals on any quadrilateral on the plane. This type of fractal is motivated by labyrinth fractal on the…

We explore the connection between cyclotomic mapping permutation polynomials and permutation polynomials of the form $x^rf(x^{\frac{q-1}{l}})$ over finite fields. We present a new necessary and a new sufficient condition to verify…

Permutation polynomials over a ring of modulo $2^w$ are compatible with digital computers and digital signal processors, and so they are in particular expected to be useful for cryptography and pseudo random number generator. In general,…

A bivariate quartic form is a homogeneous bivariate polynomial of degree four. A criterion of positivity for such a form is known. In the present paper this criterion is reformulated in terms of pseudotensorial invariants of the form.

Recently, a new concept called the $c$-differential uniformity was proposed by Ellingsen et al. (2020), which allows to simplify some types of differential cryptanalysis. Since then, finding functions having low $c$-differential uniformity…

We study non-compact scaling limits of uniform random planar quadrangulations with a boundary when their size tends to infinity. Depending on the asymptotic behavior of the boundary size and the choice of the scaling factor, we observe…

We define and study odd analogues of classical geometric and combinatorial objects associated to permutations, namely odd Schubert varieties, odd diagrams, and odd inversion sets. We show that there is a bijection between odd inversion sets…

"Quaternionic" vector bundles are the objects which describe the topological phases of quantum systems subjected to an odd time-reversal symmetry (class AII). In this work we prove that the FKMM invariant provides the correct fundamental…

Permutation polynomials over finite fields are fundamental objects as they are used in various theoretical and practical applications in cryptography, coding theory, combinatorial design, and related topics. This family of polynomials…

A pattern class is a set of permutations closed under the formation of subpermutations. Such classes can be characterised as those permutations not involving a particular set of forbidden permutations. A simple collection of necessary and…

Mutually Unbiased Bases (MUBs) are closely connected with quantum physics, and the structure has a rich mathematical background. We provide equivalent criteria for extending a set of MUBs for $C^n$ by studying real points of a certain…

Finding permutation polynomials with low differential and boomerang uniformityis an important topic in S-box designs of many block ciphers. For example, AES chooses the inverse function as its S-box, which is differentially 4-uniform and…

We classify the parabolic unitals in regular nearfield planes of odd order $q^2$ whose linear collineation group has the maximal size of $q^3-q$. We also establish a number of more general results concerning parabolic unitals in regular…

We consider uniform random permutations of length $n$ conditioned to have no cycle longer than $n^\beta$ with $0<\beta<1$, in the limit of large $n$. Since in unconstrained uniform random permutations most of the indices are in cycles of…
