In this note we give a shortened proof of a theorem of Rudnev, which bounds the number of incidences between points and planes over an arbitrary field. Rudnev's proof uses a map that goes via the four-dimensional Klein quadric to a…
We investigate finite 3-nets embedded in a projective plane over a (finite or infinite) field of any characteristic p. Such an embedding is regular when each of the three classes of the 3-net comprises concurrent lines, and irregular…
String and particle braiding statistics are examined in a class of topological orders described by discrete gauge theories with a gauge group $G$ and a 4-cocycle twist $\omega_4$ of $G$'s cohomology group…
In this note we study the distribution of the intersections between certain translates of closed orbits of the positive diagonal subgroup in $\mathrm{SL}(3, \mathbb{Z}) \backslash \mathrm{SL}(3, \mathbb{R})$ with a maximal parabolic…
The Neumann--Zagier matrices of an ideal triangulation are integer matrices with symplectic properties whose entries encode the number of tetrahedra that wind around each edge of the triangulation. They can be used as input data for the…
Complete eigenstructure, e.g., eigenvalues with multiplicities and minimal indices, of a skew-symmetric matrix pencil may change drastically if the matrix coefficients of the pencil are subjected to (even small) perturbations. These changes…
Let $\phi$ be a collineation of order 3 acting on $PG(2,q^3)$ whose fixed points are exactly an $\mathbb F_q$-plane $\pi_q$. Let $T$ be a point whose orbit under $\phi$ is a triangle and let $S_G$ be the subgroup of $PGL(3,q^3)$ that fixes…
We reveal an intriguing connection between the set of 27 (disregarding the identity) invertible symmetric 3 x 3 matrices over GF(2) and the points of the generalized quadrangle GQ(2,4). The 15 matrices with eigenvalue one correspond to a…
Let $P$ be a set of $m$ points and $L$ a set of $n$ lines in $\mathbb R^4$, such that the points of $P$ lie on an algebraic three-dimensional surface of degree $D$ that does not contain hyperplane or quadric components, and no 2-flat…
We study jumping lines loci of logarithmic bundles associated with finite sets of points in the projective plane. Using the interpolation matrix introduced in [DMTG25], we describe these loci as the zero sets of explicit determinants…
We examine the metrics that arise when a finite set of points is embedded in the real line, in such a way that the distance between each pair of points is at least 1. These metrics are closely related to some other known metrics in the…
We study compactifications of the moduli space of unordered points in the plane via variation of GIT quotients of their corresponding Hilbert scheme. Our VGIT considers linearizations outside the ample cone and within the movable cone. For…
This paper aims to undertake an exploration of the behavior of the moduli space of line arrangements while establishing its combinatorial interplay with the incidence structure of the arrangement. In the first part, we investigate…
The arithmetic of elliptic curves, namely polynomial addition and scalar multiplication, can be described in terms of global sections of line bundles on $E\times E$ and $E$, respectively, with respect to a given projective embedding of $E$…
Consider two symmetric $3 \times 3$ matrices $A$ and $B$ with entries in $GF(q)$, for $q=p^n$, $p$ an odd prime. The zero sets of $v^T Av$ and $v^T Bv$ can be viewed as (possibly degenerate) conics in the finite projective coordinate plane…
In this paper, we study and characterise the natural embedding of the twisted triality hexagon T(q^3,q) in PG(7,q^3). We begin by describing the possible intersections of subspaces of PG(7,q^3) with T(q^3,q). Then, we provide conditions on…
We investigate a new class of optical mesh periodic structures that are discretized in both the transverse and longitudinal directions. These networks are composed of waveguide arrays that are discretely coupled while phase elements are…
A 2-dimensional point-line framework is a collection of points and lines in the plane which are linked by pairwise constraints that fix some angles between pairs of lines and also some point-line and point-point distances. It is rigid if…
We will use toric degenerations of the projective plane ${{\mathbb{P}}^ 2}$ to give a new proof of the triple points interpolation problems in the projective plane. We also give a complete list of toric surfaces that are useful as…
A finite \emph{$k$-net} of order $n$ is an incidence structure consisting of $k\ge 3$ pairwise disjoint classes of lines, each of size $n$, such that every point incident with two lines from distinct classes is incident with exactly one…
