In this article, a combinatorial characterization of the family of parabolic hyperplanes of a hyperbolic (respectively, elliptic) quadric of PG(2n + 1, q), using their intersection properties with the points and subspaces of codimension 2,…

Let $E$ be a set of solids (hyperplanes) in $PG(4,q)$, $q$ even, $q>2$, such that every point of $PG(4,q)$ lies in either $0$, $\frac12q^3$ or $\frac12(q^3-q^2)$ solids of $E$, and every plane of $PG(4,q)$ lies in either $0$, $\frac12q$ or…

Let $H$ be a non-empty set of hyperplanes in $PG(4,q)$, $q$ even, such that every point of $PG(4,q)$ lies in either $0$, $\frac12q^3$ or $\frac12(q^3+q^2)$ hyperplanes of $ H$, and every plane of $PG(4,q)$ lies in $0$ or at least $\frac12q$…

In this article, a combinatorial characterization of the family of planes of $\PG(3,q)$ which meet a hyperbolic quadric in an irreducible conic, using their intersection properties with the points and lines of $\PG(3,q)$, is given.

In this paper, we remind previous results about the tilings $\{p,q\}$ of the hyperbolic plane. We introduce two new ways to split the hyperbolic plane in order to algorithmically construct the tilings $\{p,q\}$ when $q$ is odd.

We consider a non-degenerate conic in $\PG(2,q^2)$, $q$ odd, that is tangent to $\ell_\infty$ and look at its structure in the Bruck-Bose representation in $\PG(4,q)$. We determine which combinatorial properties of this set of points in…

We give a combinatorial characterization of the family of lines of P G(3, q) which meet a hyperbolic quadric in two points (the so called secant lines) using their intersection properties with the points and planes of PG(3,q).

The family of Euclidean triangles having some fixed perimeter and area can be identified with a subset of points on a nonsingular cubic plane curve, i.e., an elliptic curve; furthermore, if the perimeter and the square of the area are…

Let $p$ and $q$ be anisotropic quadratic forms over a field $F$ of characteristic $\neq 2$, let $s$ be the unique non-negative integer such that $2^s < \mathrm{dim}(p) \leq 2^{s+1}$, and let $k$ denote the dimension of the anisotropic part…

Quadratic points of a surface in the projective 3-space are the points which can be exceptionally well approximated by a quadric. They are also singularities of a 3-web in the elliptic part and of a line field in the hyperbolic part of the…

A polygonal surface in the pseudo-hyperbolic space H^(2,n) is a complete maximal surface bounded by a lightlike polygon in the Einstein universe Ein^(1,n) with finitely many vertices. In this article, we give several characterizations of…

We classify the orbits of solids in the projective space $\text{PG}(5,q)$, $q$ even, under the setwise stabiliser $K \cong \text{PGL}(3,q)$ of the Veronese surface. For each orbit, we provide an explicit representative $S$ and determine two…

The aim of this paper is to determine the elements which are in two pairs of sequences linked to the regular mosaics $\{4,5\}$ and $\{p,q\}$ on the hyperbolic plane. The problem leads to the solution of diophantine equations of certain…

We consider quadrangles of perimeter $2$ in the plane with marked directed edge. To such quadrangle $Q$ a two-dimensional plane $\Pi\in\mathbb{R}^4$ with orthonormal base is corresponded. Orthogonal plane $\Pi^\bot$ defines a plane…

We show how for every integer n one can explicitly construct n distinct plane quartics and one hyperelliptic curve over the complex numbers all of whose Jacobians are isomorphic to one another as abelian varieties without polarization. When…

We establish some characterizations of elliptic hyperboloids (resp., ellipsoids) in the $(n+1)$-dimensional Euclidean space ${\Bbb E}^{n+1}$, using the $n$-dimensional area of the sections cut off by hyperplanes and the $(n+1)$-dimensional…

An irreducible ordinary character of a finite reductive group is called quadratic unipotent if it corresponds under Jordan decomposition to a semisimple element $s$ in a dual group such that $s^2=1$. We prove that there is a bijection…

We prove that the parameter $x$ of a tight set $\mathcal{T}$ of a hyperbolic quadric $\mathsf{Q}^+(2n+1,q)$ of an odd rank $n+1$ satisfies ${x\choose 2}+w(w-x)\equiv 0\mod q+1$, where $w$ is the number of points of $\mathcal{T}$ in any…

We construct a new family, indexed by the odd integers $N\geq 1$, of $(2+1)$-dimensional quantum field theories called {\it quantum hyperbolic field theories} (QHFT), and we study its main structural properties. The QHFT are defined for…
