Universally decodable matrices can be used for coding purposes when transmitting over slow fading channels. These matrices are parameterized by positive integers $L$ and $n$ and a prime power $q$. Based on Pascal's triangle we give an…

We study the space $Q_n$ of all configurations of $n$ ordered points on the circle such that no three points coincide, and in which one of the points (say, the last one) is fixed. We compute its fundamental group for $n<6$ and describe its…

A $\textit{square-full}$ number is a positive integer for which all its prime divisors divide itself at least twice. The counting function of square-full integers of the form $f(n)$ for $n\leqslant N$ is denoted by…

We introduce a generalization of classical $q$-ary codes by allowing points to cover other points that are Hamming distance $1$ or $2$ in a freely chosen subset of all directions. More specifically, we generalize the notion of $1$-covering,…

Given a prime power $q$ and $n \gg 1$, we prove that every integer in a large subinterval of the Hasse--Weil interval $[(\sqrt{q}-1)^{2n},(\sqrt{q}+1)^{2n}]$ is $#A(\mathbb{F}_q)$ for some geometrically simple ordinary principally polarized…

Let $q$ be a prime. We give an elementary proof of the fact that for any $k\in\mathbb{N}$, the proportion of $k$-element subsets of $\mathbb{Z}$ that contain a $q^{th}$ power modulo almost every prime, is zero. This result holds regardless…

Given a convex $n$-gon $P$ and a positive integer $m$ such that $3\le m\le n-1$, let $Q$ denote the largest area convex $m$-gon contained in $P$. We are interested in the minimum value of $\Delta(Q)/\Delta(P)$, the ratio of the areas of…

We prove a converse to well-known results by E. Cartan and J. D. Moore. Let $f\colon M^n_c\to\Q^{n+p}_{\tilde c}$ be an isometric immersion of a Riemannian manifold with constant sectional curvature $c$ into a space form of curvature…

In $[2]$, Coltoiu gave an example of a domain $D\subset\complexes^{6}$ which is 4-complete such that for every ${\mathcal{F}}\in Coh(\complexes^{6})$ the restriction map $H^{3}(\complexes^{6},{\mathcal{F}})\to H^{3}(D,{\mathcal{F}})$ has a…

It is shown that the finite dimensional ireducible representations of the quantum matrix algebra $ M_q(3) $ ( the coordinate ring of $ GL_q(3) $ ) exist only when q is a root of unity ( $ q^p = 1 $ ). The dimensions of these representations…

The $q$-binomial coefficients are q-analogues of the binomial coefficients, counting the number of $k$-dimensional subspaces in the $n$-dimensional vector space $\mathbb{F}^n_q$ over $\mathbb{F}_{q}$. In this paper, we define a Euclidean…

Let $U=U_n(q)$ be the group of lower unitriangular $n \times n$-matrices with entries in the field $\mathbb F_q$ with $q$ elements for some prime power $q$ and $n \in \mathbb N$. We investigate the restriction to $U$ of the permutation…

We investigate the conditions on an integer sequence f(n), n 2 N, with f(1) = 0, such that the sequence q(n), computed recursively via q(n) = q(n - q(n - 1)) + f(n), with q(1) = 1, exists. We prove that f(n + 1) - f(n) in {0,1}, n > 0, is a…

Suppose $q$ is a fixed odd prime power, $F(\vec{x})$ is a non-degenerate quadratic form over $\mathbb{F}_q[t]$ of discriminant $\Delta$ in $d\geq 5$ variables $\vec{x}$, and $f,g\in\mathbb{F}_q[t]$,…

Given the finite field $\mathbb{F}_{q}$, for a prime power $q$, in this paper we present a way of constructing spreads of $\mathbb{F}_{q}^{n}$. They will arise as orbits under the action of an Abelian non-cyclic group. First, we construct a…

For infinite-dimensional quasi-compact cocycles over a map satisfying a certain closing condition, we show that periodic orbits carry enough information to guarantee the existence of a dominated splitting. More precisely, we establish that…

Let $V$ denote an $r$-dimensional $\mathbb{F}_{q^n}$-vector space. For an $m$-dimensional $\mathbb{F}_q$-subspace $U$ of $V$ assume that $\dim_q \left(\langle {\bf v}\rangle_{\mathbb{F}_{q^n}} \cap U\right) \geq 2$ for each non zero vector…

Let $k$ be a field. For each pair of positive integers $(n,N)$, we resolve $Q=R/(x^N,y^N,z^N)$ as a module over the ring $R=k[x,y,z]/(x^n+y^n+z^n)$. Write $N$ in the form $N=a n+r$ for integers $a$ and $r$, with $r$ between $0$ and $n-1$.…
