The resolutions and maximal sets of compatible resolutions of all 2-(120,8,1) designs arising frommaximal (120,8)-arcs in the known projective planes of order 16 are computed. It is shown that each of these designs is embeddable in a unique…

In this paper we study complete linear series on a hyperelliptic curve $C$ of arithmetic genus $g$. Let $A$ be the unique line bundle on $C$ such that $|A|$ is a $g^1_2$, and let $\mathcal{L}$ be a line bundle on $C$ of degree $d$. Then…

We present a new algorithm for computing $m$-th roots over the finite field $\F_q$, where $q = p^n$, with $p$ a prime, and $m$ any positive integer. In the particular case $m=2$, the cost of the new algorithm is an expected $O(\M(n)\log (p)…

Let F_m=F_m(var(sl(2,K))) be the relatively free algebra of rank m in the variety of Lie algebras generated by the algebra sl(2,K) over a field K of characteristic 0. Translating an old result of Baker from 1901 we present a multiplication…

Let $m \in \mathbb{N}$ be large. We show that there exist infinitely many primes $q_{1}< \cdot\cdot\cdot < q_{m+1}$ such that \[ q_{m+1}-q_{1}=O(e^{7.63m}) \] and $q_{j}+2$ has at most \[ \frac{7.36m}{\log 2} + \frac{4\log m}{\log 2} + 21…

For positive integers $m$ and $s$, let $\mathbf{m}_s$ stand for the $s$-th tuple $(m,\ldots,m)$. We show that, for large enough $s$, the higher topological complexity $TC_s$ of an even dimensional real projective space $RP^m$ is…

Field Arithmetic studies the interplay between arithmetical properties of fields and their absolute Galois groups. Here we studies fields satisfying local global principles for rational points of varieties and profinite groups satisfying…

For any integer $d \geq 2$ and prime power $q$, we construct unexpectedly large induced matchings in the point-line incidence graph of $\mathbb{F}_{q}^{d}$ by leveraging a new connection with the Furstenberg-S\'ark\"ozy problem from…

The problem of constructing curves with many points over finite fields has received considerable attention in the recent years. Using the class field theory approach, we construct new examples of curves ameliorating some of the known…

The equation $x^m = 0$ defines a fat point on a line. The algebra of regular functions on the arc space of this scheme is the quotient of $k[x, x', x^{(2)}, \ldots]$ by all differential consequences of $x^m = 0$. This infinite-dimensional…

Given a collection of points in the plane, classifying which subsets are collinear is a natural problem and is related to classical geometric constructions. We consider collections of points in a projective plane over a finite field such…

We provide explicit presentations of members of a suite of R matrices arising from the (\dot{0}_m|\alpha) representations of the quantum superalgebras U_q[gl(m|1)]. Our algorithm constructs both trigonometric and quantum R matrices; all of…

Let $Q$ be a local ring with maximal ideal $\mathfrak{n}$ and let $f,g\in \mathfrak{n}\smallsetminus\mathfrak{n}^2$ with $fg=0$. When $M$ is a finite $Q$-module with $fM=0$, we show that a minimal free resolution of $M$ over $Q$ has a…

A $k$-arc in PG($2,q$) is a set of $k$ points no three of which are collinear. A hyperfocused $k$-arc is a $k$-arc in which the $k \choose 2$ secants meet some external line in exactly $k-1$ points. Hyperfocused $k$-arcs can be viewed as…

Let $\mathcal{C}$ be an irreducible plane curve of $\text{PG}(2,\mathbb{K})$ where $\mathbb{K}$ is an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p\geq 0$. A point $Q\in \mathcal{C}$ is an inner Galois point for $\mathcal{C}$ if the…

In this paper, we study the computational complexity of finding the \emph{geodetic number} of graphs. A set of vertices $S$ of a graph $G$ is a \emph{geodetic set} if any vertex of $G$ lies in some shortest path between some pair of…

We prove that for all integers $k \geq 1$, $q\ge (k-1)^4+ 6k$, and $m \geq 1$, every matrix in $ M_m(\mathbb F_q)$ is a sum of two kth powers: $M_m(\mathbb F_q)=\{A^k+B^k|A,B\in M_m(\mathbb F_q)\}$. We further generalize and refine this…

Every prism manifold can be parametrized by a pair of relatively prime integers $p>1$ and $q$. In our earlier papers, we determined a complete list of prism manifolds $P(p, q)$ that can be realized by positive integral surgeries on knots in…

First some old as well as new results about P.I. algebras, Ore extensions, and degrees are presented. Then quantized $n\times r$ matrices as well as quantized factor algebras of $M_q(n)$ are analyzed. The latter are the quantized function…

We consider a large class of matrix problems, which includes the problem of classifying arbitrary systems of linear mappings. For every matrix problem from this class, we construct Belitskii's algorithm for reducing a matrix to a canonical…
