Let $\mathcal{G}$ be a finite group scheme over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic ${\rm char}(k)=p\geq 3$. In generalization of the familiar notion from the modular representation theory of finite groups, we define the…
The cohomology of the degree-$n$ general linear group over a finite field of characteristic $p$, with coefficients also in characteristic $p$, remains poorly understood. For example, the lowest degree previously known to contain nontrivial…
There are 6 families of finite polar spaces of rank $3$. The set of lines in a rank $3$ polar space form a rank $5$ association scheme. We determine the regular sets of minimal size in several of these polar spaces, and describe some…
In this paper, we show how certain three-class association schemes and orthogonal arrays give rise to partial geometric designs. We also investigate the connections between partial geometric designs and certain regular graphs having three…
Elliptic bases, introduced by Couveignes and Lercier in 2009, give an elegant way of representing finite field extensions. A natural question which seems to have been considered independently by several groups is to use this representation…
Given a category fibered in groupoids over schemes with a log structure, one produces a category fibered in groupoids over log schemes. We classify the groupoid fibrations over log schemes that arise in this manner in terms of a categorical…
The main goal of this note is to begin a systematic study on conic-line arrangements in the complex projective plane. We show a de Bruijn-Erd\H{o}s-type inequality and Hirzebruch-type inequality for a certain class of conic-line…
In this work we study line arrangements consisting in lines passing through three non-aligned points. We call them triangular arrangements. We prove that any combinatorics of a triangular arrangement is always realized by a…
This paper is devoted to second-order variational analysis of a rather broad class of extended-real-valued piecewise liner functions and their applications to various issues of optimization and stability. Based on our recent explicit…
Linear codes play a central role in coding theory and have applications in several branches of mathematics. For error correction purposes the minimum Hamming distance should be as large as possible. Linear codes related to applications in…
One of the open questions in the geometry of line arrangements is to what extent does the incidence lattice of an arrangement determine its fundamental group. Line arrangements of up to 6 lines were recently classified by K.M. Fan, and it…
This expository paper explores the interaction of group ordering with topological questions, especially in dimensions 2 and 3. Among the topics considered are surfaces, braid groups, 3-manifolds and their structures such as foliations and…
Let $k$ be a finite field, and $L$ be a $q$-linearized polynomial defined over $k$ of $q$-degree $r$ ($L=\sum^r_{i=0}a_iZ^{q^i}$, with $a_i\in k$). This paper provides an algorithm to compute a characteristic polynomial of $L$ over a large…
We study a relation between roots of characteristic polynomials and intersection points of line arrangements. Using these results, we obtain a lot of applications for line arrangements. Namely, we give (i) a generalized addition theorem for…
Three types of geometric structure---grid triangulations, rectangular subdivisions, and orthogonal polyhedra---can each be described combinatorially by a regular labeling: an assignment of colors and orientations to the edges of an…
In the present note we provide a partial classification of nearly free conic-line arrangements in the complex plane having nodes, tacnodes, and ordinary triple points. In this setting, our theoretical bound tells us that the degree of such…
The paper develops elementary linear algebra methods to compute the determinants of the tensor symmetrizations of quadratic and hermitian forms over fields of good characteristic. Explicit results are given for the partitions $(n)$,…

We illustrate some simple ideas that can be used for obtaining a classification of small-dimensional solvable Lie algebras.Using these we obtain the classification of 3 and 4 dimensional solvable Lie algebras (over fields of any…
In this paper, we describe the moduli space of rank three parabolic logarithmic connections on the projective line with three poles for any local exponents. In particular, we show that the family of moduli spaces of rank three parabolic…
