Coding theory and $t$-designs have close connections and interesting interplay. In this paper, we first introduce a class of ternary linear codes and study their parameters. We then focus on their three-weight subcodes with a special weight…

We study the quantum Mixmaster dynamics by constructing the corresponding Wheeler-DeWitt equation as a relativistic quantum theory in a pseudo-Riemannian Mini-superspace. The transition amplitude from a Kasner regime to the next one is…

One of the main aims of this paper is to give a large class of strongly solid compact quantum groups. We do this by using quantum Markov semi-groups (QMS's) and non-commutative Riesz transforms. We introduce a property for QMS's of central…

Recent results show that Kochen-Specker (KS) sets of observables are fundamental to quantum information, computation, and foundations beyond previous expectations. Among KS sets, those that are unique up to unitary transformations (i.e.,…

We transfer Knapp-Stein $R$-groups for unitary weakly unramified characters between a $p$-adic quasi-split group and its non-quasi-split inner forms, and provide the structure of those $R$-groups for a general connected reductive group over…

Steiner systems are a fascinating topic of combinatorics. The most studied Steiner systems are $S(2, 3, v)$ (Steiner triple systems), $S(3, 4, v)$ (Steiner quadruple systems), and $S(2, 4, v)$. There are a few infinite families of Steiner…

Cylindrically symmetric quantum mechanical systems with position dependent masses (PDM) admitting at least one second order integral of motion are classified. It is proved that there exist 68 such systems which are inequivalent. Among them…

Let $M$ be an excluded minor for the class of $\mathbb{P}$-representable matroids for some partial field $\mathbb P$, and let $N$ be a $3$-connected strong $\mathbb{P}$-stabilizer that is non-binary. We prove that either $M$ is bounded…

Let X be a coherent configuration associated with a transitive group G. In terms of the intersection numbers of X, a necessary condition for the point stabilizer of G to be a TI-subgroup, is established. Furthermore, under this condition, X…

We establish quasi-isometric rigidity for a class of right-angled Coxeter groups. Let $\Gamma_1,\Gamma_2$ be joins of finite generalized thick $m$-gons with $m\geq 3$. We show that the corresponding right-angled Coxeter groups are…

We study magnetism in simple models for rare earth quasicrystals by means of a two-step theoretical approach. First, we compute RKKY interactions from a tight-binding Hamiltonian defined on a two-dimensional quasiperiodic tiling. Second, we…

Symmetries of finite Heisenberg groups represent an important tool for the study of deeper structure of finite-dimensional quantum mechanics. This short contribution presents extension of previous investigations to composite quantum systems…

Given the integers $0<r_1<\dots<r_k$, we consider the shifted family of semigroups $M_n=\langle n, n+r_1,\dots, n+r_k\rangle$, where $n>0$. For sufficiently large $n$, we prove that if $M_n$ is nearly Gorenstein or almost symmetric, then so…

In this paper new Steiner systems $S(2,6,111)$, $S(2,6,121)$, $S(2,6,126)$, $S(2,7,169)$, $S(2,7,175)$ and possibly others with point-transitive (commutative except $S(2,6,111)$ case) automorphism groups are introduced.

A fundamental motif in frustrated magnetism is the fully mutually coupled cluster of $N$ spins, with each spin coupled to every other spin. Clusters with $N=2$ and $3$ have been extensively studied as building blocks of square and…

The notion of magnetic symmetry is reexamined in light of the recent observation of long range magnetic order in icosahedral quasicrystals [Charrier et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 78, 4637 (1997)]. The relation between the symmetry of a…

Let $G$ be a transitive permutation group on a finite set of size at least $2$. By a well known theorem of Fein, Kantor and Schacher, $G$ contains a derangement of prime power order. In this paper, we study the finite primitive permutation…

For given positive integers $d$ and $m$, consider the projective klt pairs $(X,B)$ of dimension $d$, of Cartier index $m$, and with semi-ample $K_X+B$ defining a contraction $\pi\colon X\to Z$. We prove that it is not possible in general to…

A countable CW complex $K$ is quasi-finite (as defined by A.Karasev) if for every finite subcomplex $M$ of $K$ there is a finite subcomplex $e(M)$ such that any map $f:A\to M$, where $A$ is closed in a separable metric space $X$ satisfying…

In the simplest compactification, we discuss the intermediate unification in M-theory on $S^1/Z_2$, and point out that we can push the eleven dimension Planck scale to the TeV range if the gauge coupling in the hidden sector is super weak,…
