Let $\mathcal{A}_1,\ldots,\mathcal{A}_m$ be families of $k$-subsets of an $n$-set. Suppose that one cannot choose pairwise disjoint edges from $s+1$ distinct families. Subject to this condition we investigate the maximum of…

Let $\{(A_i,B_i)\}_{i=1}^m$ be a set pair system. F\"{u}redi, Gy\'{a}rf\'{a}s and Kir\'{a}ly called it {\em $1$-cross intersecting} if $|A_i\cap B_j|$ is $1$ when $i\neq j$ and $0$ if $i=j$. They studied such systems and their…

We say a family of sets is intersecting if any two of its sets intersect, and we say it is trivially intersecting if there is an element which appears in every set of the family. In this paper we study the maximum size of a non-trivially…

Let $\mathcal{H}_i$ be a finite dimensional complex Hilbert space of dimension $d_i$ associated with a finite level quantum system $A_i$ for $i = i, 1,2, ..., k$. A subspace $S \subset \mathcal{H} = \mathcal{H}_{A_{1} A_{2}... A_{k}} =…

In earlier work, it was established that for any finite field k, the free associative k-algebra on one generator x, denoted by k[x]_0, had infinitely many maximal T-spaces, but exactly two maximal $ideals (each of which is a maximal…

Let $k$ and $m$ be positive integers. A collection of $k$-multisets from $\{1,..., m \}$ is intersecting if every pair of multisets from the collection is intersecting. We prove that for $m \geq k+1$, the size of the largest such collection…

We give a characterization of the largest $2$-intersecting families of permutations of $\{1,2,\ldots,n\}$ and of perfect matchings of the complete graph $K_{2n}$ for all $n \geq 2$.

We consider point sets in the affine plane $\mathbb{F}_q^2$ where each Euclidean distance of two points is an element of $\mathbb{F}_q$. These sets are called integral point sets and were originally defined in $m$-dimensional Euclidean…

For a family of sets $\mathcal{F}$, let $\omega(\mathcal{F}):=\sum_{\{A,B\}\subset \mathcal{F}}|A\cap B|$. In this paper, we prove that provided $n$ is sufficiently large, for any $\mathcal{F}\subset \binom{[n]}{k}$ with $|\mathcal{F}|=m$,…

Lower and upper bounds on the size of a covering of subspaces in the Grassmann graph $\cG_q(n,r)$ by subspaces from the Grassmann graph $\cG_q(n,k)$, $k \geq r$, are discussed. The problem is of interest from four points of view: coding…

We continue the study by Melo and Winter [arXiv:1712.01763, 2017] on the possible intersection sizes of a $k$-dimensional subspace with the vertices of the $n$-dimensional hypercube in Euclidean space. Melo and Winter conjectured that all…

Given a large finite point set, $P\subset \mathbb R^2$, we obtain upper bounds on the number of triples of points that determine a given pair of dot products. That is, for any pair of positive real numbers, $(\alpha, \beta)$, we bound the…

Consider the Grassmann graph formed by $k$-dimensional subspaces of an $n$-dimensional vector space over the field of $q$ elements ($1<k<n-1$) and denote by $\Pi(n,k)_q$ the restriction of this graph to the set of projective $[n,k]_q$…

Let $E^n$ denote the (real) $n$-dimensional Euclidean space. It is not known whether an equilateral set in the $\ell_1$ sum of $E^a$ and $E^b$, denoted here as $E^a \oplus_1 E^b$, has maximum size at least $\dim(E^a \oplus_1 E^b) + 1 = a +…

For positive integers $n,r,k$ with $n\ge r$ and $k\ge2$, a set $\{(x_1,y_1),(x_2,y_2),\dots,(x_r,y_r)\}$ is called a $k$-signed $r$-set on $[n]$ if $x_1,\dots,x_r$ are distinct elements of $[n]$ and $y_1\dots,y_r\in[k]$. We say a…

Recently, a lower bound was established on the size of linear sets in projective spaces, that intersect a hyperplane in a canonical subgeometry. There are several constructions showing that this bound is tight. In this paper, we generalize…

In this paper, we study maximal antipodal sets in simply connected exceptional compact symmetric spaces. Combining our results with the existing literature, we obtain a complete classification of maximal antipodal sets in all such spaces.…

The maximum scattered linear sets in $PG(1,q^n)$ have been completely classified for $n \le 4$ by Csajb\'ok-Zanella and Lavrauw-Van de Voorde. Here a wide class of linear sets in $PG(1,q^5)$ is studied which depends on two parameters.…

In this paper we study the maximal subspaces of continuous n-homogeneous polynomials on complex and real non separable Banach spaces. In the real case we will prove that if P is a 2-homogeneous polynomial and if there exist a k-dimensional…

We show that the maximum number of pairwise non-overlapping $k$-rich lenses (lenses formed by at least $k$ circles) in an arrangement of $n$ circles in the plane is $O\left(\frac{n^{3/2}\log{(n/k^3)}}{k^{5/2}} + \frac{n}{k} \right)$, and…
