We study the a-numbers and p-ranks of Kummer covers of the projective line, and we give bounds for these numbers.

Smith normal form evaluations found by Bessenrodt and Stanley for some Hankel matrices of q-Catalan numbers are proven in two ways. One argument generalizes the Bessenrodt-Stanley results for the Smith normal form of a certain multivariate…

This paper surveys some combinatorial aspects of Smith normal form, and more generally, diagonal form. The discussion includes general algebraic properties and interpretations of Smith normal form, critical groups of graphs, and Smith…

In this paper, we investigate $q$-Varchenko matrices for some hyperplane arrangements with symmetry in two and three dimensions, and prove that they have a Smith normal form over $\mathbb Z[q]$. In particular, we examine the hyperplane…

A brief introduction is given to the topic of Smith normal forms of incidence matrices. A general discussion of techniques is illustrated by some classical examples. Some recent advances are described and the limits of our current…

We show how our recent results on compositions of d.c. functions (and mappings) imply positive results on extensions of d.c. functions (and mappings). Examples answering two natural relevant questions are presented. Two further theorems,…

We introduce affine structures on groups and show they form a category equivalent to that of semi-braces. In particular, such a new description of semi-braces includes that presented by Rump for braces. By specific affine structures, we…

In this paper we study the relationship between rank-one convexity and quasiconvexity in the space of 2x2 matrices. We show that a certain procedure for constructing homogeneous gradient Young measures from periodic deformations, that…

We show that the Smith normal form of a skew-symmetric D-optimal design of order $n\equiv 2\pmod{4}$ is determined by its order. Furthermore, we show that the Smith normal form of such a design can be written explicitly in terms of the…

We study seminormalization of affine complex varieties. We show that polynomials on the seminormalization correspond to the rational functions which are continuous for the Euclidean topology. We further study this type of functions which…

In this paper, we study the symmetric rank of products of linear forms and an irreducible quadratic form. The main result presents a new, non-trivial lower bound for the rank, and the arguments rely on the apolarity lemma. In the special…

This paper introduces new constructions of sum-rank metric codes derived from algebraic function fields, as existing results on such codes remain limited. A major challenge lies in the determination of their parameters. We address this…

We survey results on compact Clifford-Klein forms of homogeneous spaces, with a focus on recent contributions and organized around approaches via topology, geometry and dynamics. In addition, we survey results on moduli spaces of compact…

In this paper we established a new Simpson type conformable fractional integral equality for convex functions. Based on this identity, some results related to Simpson-like type inequalities are obtained. These results are then applied to…

In this paper we study the projective normality of certain Artin-Schreier curves $Y_f$ defined over a field $\F$ of characteristic $p$ by the equations $y^q+y=f(x)$, $q$ being a power of $p$ and $f\in \F[x]$ being a polynomial in $x$ of…

We introduce a new concept of rank - relative rank associated to a filtered collection of polynomials. When the filtration is trivial our relative rank coincides with Schmidt rank (also called strength). We also introduce the notion of…

We give some results on quadratic normality of reducible curves canonically embedded and partially extend this study to their projective normality.

We study stable curves of arithmetic genus 2 which admit two morphisms of finite degree $p$, resp. $d$, onto smooth elliptic curves, with particular attention to the case $p$ prime.

In this paper we develop several general methods for analysing flag-transitive point-imprimitive $2$-designs, which give restrictions on both the automorphisms and parameters of such designs. These constitute a tool-kit for analysing these…

We study the $p$-rank stratification of the moduli space of Prym varieties in characteristic $p > 0$. For arbitrary primes $p$ and $\ell$ with $\ell \not = p$ and integers $g \geq 3$ and $0 \leq f \leq g$, the first theorem generalizes a…
