Let $V$ be a vector space of rectangular $n\times k$ matrices annihilating the Cullis' determinant. We show that $\dim(V) \le (n-1)k$, extending Dieudonn{\'{e}}'s result on the dimension of vector spaces of square matrices annihilating the…

We study $p$-divisible groups $G$ endowed with an action of the ring of integers of a finite (possibly ramified) extension of $\mathbb{Q}_p$ over a scheme of characteristic $p$. We suppose moreover that the $p$-divisible group $G$ satisfies…

We study the problem of finding elements in the intersection of an arbitrary conic variety in $\mathbb{F}^n$ with a given linear subspace (where $\mathbb{F}$ can be the real or complex field). This problem captures a rich family of…

A classical result of Cioab\u{a} states that if $G$ is a connected graph with the unit Perron vector $\mathbf{x}$, then any independent set $S$ of $G$ satisfies $\sum_{v\in S} x_v^2 \le \frac{1}{2}$, with equality if and only if $G$ is a…

Let $V$ be a linear representation of a connected complex reductive group $G$. Given a choice of character $\theta$ of $G$, Geometric Invariant Theory defines a locus $V^{ss}_\theta(G) \subseteq V$ of semistable points. We give necessary,…

The Kalman variety of a linear subspace in a vector space consists of all endomorphism that possess an eigenvector in that subspace. We study the defining polynomials and basic geometric invariants of the Kalman variety.

Covariant or invariant functions under a compact linear group can be expressed in terms of functions defined in the orbit space of the group. The semialgebraic relations defining the orbit spaces of all finite coregular real linear groups…

In the first part of this paper we give a precise description of all the minimal decompositions of any bi-homogeneous polynomial $p$ (i.e. a partially symmetric tensor of $S^{d_1}V_1\otimes S^{d_2}V_2$ where $V_1,V_2$ are two complex,…

Let $G$ be a finite $p$-separable group, for some fixed prime $p$. Let $\Gamma_p(G)$ be the common divisor graph built on the set of non-central conjugacy classes of $p$-regular elements of $G$: this is the graph whose vertices are the…

Assume a fixed point v in a G-module V can be separated from zero by a homogeneous invariant of degree dp^r where p>0 is the characteristic of the ground field k and p, d are coprime. We show that then v can also be separated from zero by…
