In a recent paper (arXiv:1211.6372), Bergelson and Tao proved that if $G$ is a $D$-quasi-random group, and $x$,$g$ are drawn uniformly and independently from $G$, then the quadruple $(g,x,gx,xg)$ is roughly equidistributed in the subset of…

Let $p$ be prime number and $K$ be a $p$-adic field. We systematically compute the higher $\mathrm{Ext}$-groups between locally analytic generalized Steinberg representations (LAGS for short) of $\mathrm{GL}_n(K)$ via a new combinatorial…

We study how to formalize in the Coq proof assistant the smallest projective space PG(3,2). We then describe formally the spreads and packings of PG(3,2), as well as some of their properties. The formalization is rather straightforward,…

We present a genus expansion-type expression for the expected values of products of traces of expressions involving Haar-distributed orthogonal matrices. As with other real genus expansions, nonorientable surfaces appear, in addition to the…

The van der Geer--van der Vlugt curves form a class of Artin--Schreier coverings of the projective line over finite fields. We provide an explicit formula for their $L$-polynomials in characteristic $2$, expressed in terms of characters of…

We prove that finite length representations of shifted quantum affine algebras in category $\mathcal{O}^{\mathrm{sh}}$ are stable by fusion product. This implies that in the topological Grothendieck ring $K_0(\mathcal{O}^{\mathrm{sh}})$ the…

Inspired by the split decomposition of graphs and rank-width, we introduce the notion of $r$-splits. We focus on the family of $r$-splits of a graph of order $n$, and we prove that it forms a hypergraph with several properties. We prove…

Let $S_r(p,q)$ be the $r$-associated Stirling numbers of the second kind, the number of ways to partition a set of size $p$ into $q$ subsets of size at least $r$. For $r=1$, these are the standard Stirling numbers of the second kind, and…

In this paper we completely classify spreads of 2-dimensional subspaces of a 6-dimensional vector space over a finite field of characteristic not two or three upon which a cyclic group acts transitively. This addresses one of the remaining…

Ostrom and Wagner (1959) proved that if the automorphism group $G$ of a finite projective plane $\pi$ acts $2$-transitively on the points of $\pi$, then $\pi$ is isomorphic to the Desarguesian projective plane and $G$ is isomorphic to…

In the projective space $\mathrm{PG}(3,q)$, we consider the orbits of lines under the stabilizer group of the twisted cubic. In the literature, lines of $\mathrm{PG}(3,q)$ are partitioned into classes, each of which is a union of line…

In his 1910 paper, \'Elie Cartan gave a tour-de-force solution to the (local) equivalence problem for generic rank 2 distributions on 5-manifolds, i.e. $(2,3,5)$-distributions. From a modern perspective, these structures admit equivalent…

Let $\mathrm{PG}(3, q)$ denote the three-dimensional projective space over the finite field with $q$ elements. A line-spread of $\mathrm{PG}(3, q)$ is a collection $\mathcal{S}$ of mutually skew lines such that every point of…

All possible permutations in the discrete $S_4$ group are classified by three rotation angles associated with the orthogonal group $O(3)$. We construct a spinor representation ${\bf 2}_D$ of $O(3)$, which is transformed by three 4$\times$4…

Let $K$ be a number field with ring of integers $\mathcal{O}_K$. We describe and classify finite, flat, and linearly reductive subgroup schemes of $\mathrm{SL}_2$ over $\mathrm{Spec}\:\mathcal{O}_K$. We also establish finiteness results for…

Quadric bundles on a compact Riemann surface X generalise orthogonal bundles and arise naturally in the study of the moduli space of representations of $\pi_1(X)$ in Sp(2n,R). We prove some basic results on the moduli spaces of quadric…

We classify regular locally scalar (= orthoscalar) representations of graph $\widetilde{D}_4$ in Hilbert spaces

In the projective space $\mathrm{PG}(3,q)$, we consider the orbits of lines under the stabilizer group of the twisted cubic. It is well known that the lines can be partitioned into classes every of which is a union of line orbits. All types…

We show that any $N$-dimensional linear subspace of $L^2(\mathbb{T})$ admits an orthonormal system such that the $L^2$ norm of the square variation operator $V^2$ is as small as possible. When applied to the span of the trigonometric…

Relations among tautological classes on the moduli space of stable curves are obtained via the study of Witten's r-spin theory for higher r. In order to calculate the quantum product, a new formula relating the r-spin correlators in genus 0…
