In [1], a new quasi-Hermitian variety $\mathcal{H}_\varepsilon^r$ in $\mathrm{PG}(r, q^2)$, with $q = 2^e$ and $e \geq 3$ an odd integer, was constructed. The variety depends on a primitive element $\varepsilon$ of the underlying field…
In this paper we study the BM quasi-Hermitian varieties introduced in [A. Aguglia, A. Cossidente, G. Korchm\`aros, On quasi-Hermitian Varieties, J. Combin. Des. 20 (2012) 433-447.] in characteristc $2$ and dimension $3$. After a brief…
Let $\mathcal W$ be a non-empty set of points of a finite Desarguesian projective space $\mathrm{PG}(n,q)$. A collection of varieties of $\mathrm{PG}(n,q)$ is \emph{mutually $\mu$-intersecting (relatively to $\mathcal W$)} if its elements…
It is known that the Hermitian varieties are codewords in the code defined by the points and hyperplanes of the projective spaces $PG(r,q^2)$. In finite geometry, also quasi-Hermitian varieties are defined. These are sets of points of…
Quasi-Hermitian varieties arise as higher-dimensional generalizations of non-classical unitals, including the Buekenhout--Metz (BM) and Buekenhout--Tits (BT) families. After reviewing known constructions and structural properties, we…
The construction of permutation trinomials of the form $X^r(X^{\alpha (2^m-1)}+X^{\beta(2^m-1)} + 1)$ over $\F_{2^{2m}}$, where $m,~r\text{ and }\alpha > \beta$ are positive integers, is an active area of research. Several classes of…
We discuss certain features of pseudo-Hermiticity and weak pseudo-Hermiticity conditions and point out that, contrary to a recent claim, there is no inconsistency if the correct orthogonality condition is used for the class of…
In this paper we study quasi-homogeneous affine algebraic varieties, that is, varieties obtained as closures of orbits of suitable group representations. We also discuss one interesting case that has links with the Orthogonal Grassmannian…
The class of the hypercomplex pseudo-Hermitian manifolds is considered. The flatness of the considered manifolds with the 3 parallel complex structures is proved. Conformal transformations of the metrics are introduced. The conformal…
Gray & Hervella gave a classification of almost Hermitian structures (g,I) into 16 classes. We systematically study the interaction between these classes when one has an almost hyper-Hermitian structure (g,I,J,K). In general dimension we…
In this paper we characterize the non-singular Hermitian variety ${\mathcal H}(6,q^2)$ of $\mathrm{PG}(6, q^2)$, $q\neq2$ among the irreducible hypersurfaces of degree $q+1$ in $\mathrm{PG}(6, q^2)$ not containing solids by the number of…
We investigate several classes of submanifolds of almost quaternionic skew-Hermitian manifolds $(M^{4n}, Q, \omega)$, including almost symplectic, almost complex, almost pseudo-Hermitian and almost quaternionic submanifolds. In the…
A harmonic oscillator Hamiltonian augmented by a non-Hermitian \pt-symmetric part and its su(1,1) generalizations, for which a family of positive-definite metric operators was recently constructed, are re-examined in a supersymmetric…
Bound states generated by K coupled PT-symmetric square wells are studied in a series of models where the Hamiltonians are assumed $R-$pseudo-Hermitian and $R^2-$symmetric. Specific rotation-like generalized parities $R$ are considered such…
We give a condition for an almost constant-type manifold to be a constant-type manifold, and holomorphic and $R$-invariant submanifolds of almost Hermitian manifolds are studied. Generalizations of some results in [5] are given.
Quasi-Hermitian quantum systems, including $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric ones, can be mapped to equivalent Hermitian systems via a similarity transformation that redefines the inner product with a positive-definite metric operator. Although an…
In this paper we construct orthogonal $G-$spectra up to a weak equivalence for the quasi-theory $QE_{n, G}^*(-)$ corresponding to certain cohomology theories $E$. The construction of the orthogonal $G-$spectrum for quasi-elliptic cohomology…
In this paper, we present a combinatorial characterization of the hyperplanes associated with non-singular hermitian varieties ${H}\left(s, q^2\right)$ in the projective space $\mathrm{PG}\left(s,q^2\right)$ where $s\geq3$ and $q>2$. By…
In this paper we introduce a set of sufficient criteria for the construction of relative hemisystems of the Hermitian space $\mathrm{H}(3,q^2)$, unifying all known infinite families. We use these conditions to provide new proofs of the…
A family of spherical non-Hermitian potentials is studied. It is shown that the corresponding non-Hermitian Hamiltonians admit some "new" P$phi$T$phi$-symmetry. It is observed that whilst such P$phi$T$phi$-symmetric Hamiltonians just copy…
