This paper extends some results of [M5] and [M3], in particular, removing assumptions of positive lower density. We give conditions on a general family $P_{\lambda}:\mathbb{R}^{n}\to\mathbb{R}^{m}, \lambda \in \Lambda,$ of orthogonal…

New examples of Cameron-Liebler line classes in $\mathrm{PG}(3,q)$ are given with parameter $\frac{1}{2}(q^2 -1)$. These examples have been constructed for many odd values of $q$ using a computer search, by forming a union of line orbits…

The set of primes where a hypergeomeric series with rational parameters is $p$-adically bounded is known by [10] to have a Dirichlet density. We establish a formula for this Dirichlet density and conjecture that it is rare for the density…

In this paper, we present three new classes of $q$-ary quantum MDS codes utilizing generalized Reed-Solomon codes satisfying Hermitian self-orthogonal property. Among our constructions, the minimum distance of some $q$-ary quantum MDS codes…

We develop a unified PDE-probabilistic framework for pointwise gradient and Hessian estimates of Markov semigroups associated with stochastic differential equations with singular and unbounded coefficients. Under mild local structural…

We show that the metric dimension of a finite projective plane of order $q\geq 23$ is $4q-4$, and describe all resolving sets of that size. Let $\tau_2$ denote the size of the smallest double blocking set in $\mathrm{PG}(2,q)$, the…

It is known that a Delsarte $t$-design in a $Q$-polynomial association scheme has degree at least $\left \lceil{\frac{t}{2}}\right \rceil $. Following Ionin and Shrikhande who studied combinatorial $(2s-1)$-designs (i.e., Delsarte designs…

We introduce the concept of a disjoint partial difference family (DPDF) and an external partial difference family (EPDF), a natural generalisation of the much-studied structures of disjoint difference family (DDF), external difference…

We investigate additive codes, defined as $\mathbb{F}_q$-linear subspaces $C \subseteq \mathbb{F}_{q^h}^n$ of length $n$ and dimension $r$ over $\mathbb{F}_q$. An additive code is said to be of type $[n, r/h, d]_q^h$, where $d$ denotes the…

This paper concerns with mesh restrictions that are needed to satisfy several important mathematical properties -- maximum principles, comparison principles, and the non-negative constraint -- for a general linear second-order elliptic…

The minimum weight of the code generated by the incidence matrix of points versus lines in a projective plane has been known for over 50 years. Surprisingly, finding the minimum weight of the dual code of projective planes of non-prime…

Poisson structures of divisor-type are those whose degeneracy can be captured by a divisor ideal, which is a locally principal ideal sheaf with nowhere-dense quotient support. This is a large class of Poisson structures which includes all…

This overview focuses on the notion of partial dynamical symmetry (PDS), for which a prescribed symmetry is obeyed by a subset of solvable eigenstates, but is not shared by the Hamiltonian. General algorithms are presented to identify…

Partial differential equations (PDEs) are at the heart of many mathematical and scientific advances. While great progress has been made on the theory of PDEs of standard types during the last eight decades, the analysis of nonlinear PDEs of…

Let $S$ be a semi direct product $S=N\rtimes A$ where $N$ is a connected and simply connected, non-abelian, nilpotent meta-abelian Lie group and $A$ is isomorphic with $\R^k,$ $k>1.$ We consider a class of second order left-invariant…

Mutually unbiased bases generalize the X, Y and Z qubit bases. They possess numerous applications in quantum information science. It is well-known that in prime power dimensions N=p^m (with p prime and m a positive integer) there exists a…

We exhibit the first explicit examples of Salem sets in $\mathbb{Q}_p$ of every dimension $0 < \alpha < 1$ by showing that certain sets of well-approximable $p$-adic numbers are Salem sets. We construct measures supported on these sets that…

This paper is originally designed as a part of revision of the author's preprint math.AG/9908174 "P-adic Schwarzian triangle groups of Mumford type". Recently, Yves Andr'e pointed out a flaw in that preprint; more precisely, Proposition II…

We study $N$-point rational distance sets ($\textrm{RDS}(N)$) on the parabola $y=x^2$. Previous approaches to the problem include efforts made using elliptic curves and diophantine chains, with successful analysis for $N\leq 4$. We extend…

A difference matrix over a group is a discrete structure that is intimately related to many other combinatorial designs, including mutually orthogonal Latin squares, orthogonal arrays, and transversal designs. Interest in constructing…
