We determine the number of ${\mathbb{F}}_q$-rational points of hyperplane sections of classical determinantal varieties defined by the vanishing of minors of a fixed size of a generic matrix, and identify sections giving the maximum number…

There exists an infinite family of examples of subsets of $\mathbb{F}_q^2$ with $q^{4/3}$ elements whose distance sets are not the whole of $\mathbb{F}_q$.

Error-correcting codes resilient to synchronization errors such as insertions and deletions are known as insdel codes. Due to their important applications in DNA storage and computational biology, insdel codes have recently become a focal…

Due to the growing interest in embeddings of space-time in higher-dimensional spaces we consider a specific type of embedding. After proving an inequality between intrinsically defined curvature invariants and the squared mean curvature, we…

In this short note, we study the distribution of spreads in a point set $\mathcal{P} \subseteq \mathbb{F}_q^d$, which are analogous to angles in Euclidean space. More precisely, we prove that, for any $\varepsilon > 0$, if $|\mathcal{P}|…

We show that large subsets of vector spaces over finite fields determine certain point configurations with prescribed distance structure. More specifically, we consider the complete graph with vertices as the points of $A \subseteq…

This paper considers a problem that relates to the theories of covering arrays, permutation patterns, Vapnik-Chervonenkis (VC) classes, and probability thresholds. Specifically, we want to find the number of subsets of [n]:={1,2,....,n} we…

Grassmannian $\mathcal{G}_q(n,k)$ is the set of all $k$-dimensional subspaces of the vector space $\mathbb{F}_q^n.$ Recently, Etzion and Zhang introduced a new notion called covering Grassmannian code which can be used in network coding…

Let $n$ and $t$ be positive integers with $t<n$, and let $q$ be a prime power. A $\textit{partial $(t-1)$-spread}$ of ${\rm PG}(n-1,q)$ is a set of $(t-1)$-dimensional subspaces of ${\rm PG}(n-1,q)$ that are pairwise disjoint. Let…

In this paper, the concept of quasi-finitely separating map and quasiapproximate identity are introduced. Based on these concepts, QFS-spaces and quasicontinuous maps are defined. Properties and characterizations of QFS-spaces are explored.…

Let V be a variety in P^n(C) and let W be a linear space, of dimension w, in P^n. We say that V can be isomorphically projected onto W if there exists a linear projection f, from a suitable linear space L disjoint from W, dim(L) = n-w-1 >=…

We present a description of maximal partial ovoids of size $q^2-1$ of the parabolic quadric $\q(4,q)$ as sharply transitive subsets of $\SL(2,q)$ and show their connection with spread sets. This representation leads to an elegant explicit…

Let F be a field. We investigate the greatest possible dimension t_n(F) for a vector space of n-by-n matrices with entries in F and in which every element is triangularizable over the ground field F. It is obvious that t_n(F) is greater…

Let K be a skew field, and K_0 be a subfield of the central subfield of K such that K has finite dimension q over K_0. Let V be a K_0-linear subspace of n by n nilpotent matrices with entries in K. We show that the dimension of V is bounded…

We prove a version of the strong half-space theorem between the classes of recurrent minimal surfaces and complete minimal surfaces with bounded curvature of $\mathbb{R}^{3}_{\raisepunct{.}}$ We also show that any minimal hypersurface…

We examine dimensional types of scattered $P$-spaces of weight $\omega_1$. Such spaces can be embedded into $\omega_2$. There are established similarities between dimensional types of scattered separable metric spaces and dimensional types…

Using examples we test formulae previously conjectured to give the fractal information dimension of chaotic repellors and their stable and unstable manifolds in ``typical'' dynamical systems in terms of the Lyapunov exponents and the…

We prove that the maximal dimension of a subspace $V$ of the generic tensor product of $m$ symbol algebras of prime degree $p$ with $\operatorname{Tr}(v^{p-1})=0$ for all $v\in V$ is $\frac{p^{2m}-1}{p-1}$. The same upper bound is thus…
