We give a detailed description of the Veldkamp space of the smallest slim dense near hexagon. This space is isomorphic to PG(7, 2) and its 2^8 - 1 = 255 Veldkamp points (that is, geometric hyperplanes of the near hexagon) fall into five…
We prove that the near hexagon $Q(5,2) \times \mathbb{L}_3$ has a non-abelian representation in the extra-special 2-group $2^{1+12}_+$ and that the near hexagon $Q(5,2) \otimes Q(5,2)$ has a non-abelian representation in the extra-special…
We construct a homogeneous subspace of $2^\omega$ whose complement is dense in $2^\omega$ and rigid. Using the same method, assuming Martin's Axiom, we also construct a countable dense homogeneous subspace of $2^\omega$ whose complement is…
Having in mind their potential quantum physical applications, we classify all geometric hyperplanes of the near hexagon that is a direct product of a line of size three and the generalized quadrangle of order two. There are eight different…
A 10-dimensional symplectic moduli space of torsion sheaves on the cubic 4-fold is constructed. It parametrizes the stable rank 2 vector bundles on the hypeplane sections of the cubic 4-fold which are obtained by Serre's construction from…
The symplectic graph Sp(2d, q) is the collinearity graph of the symplectic space of dimension 2d over a finite field of order q. A k-regular graph on v vertices is a divisible design graph with parameters (v, k, lambda_1, lambda_2 ,m,n) if…
We present explicit constructions of centrally symmetric 2-neighborly d-dimensional polytopes with about 3^{d/2} = (1.73)^d vertices and of centrally symmetric k-neighborly d-polytopes with about 2^{c_k d} vertices where c_k=3/20 k^2 2^k.…
The space $SL(2,\mathbb{R})\times SL(2,\mathbb{R})$ admits a natural homogeneous pseudo-Riemannian nearly Kaehler structure. We investigate almost complex surfaces in this space. In particular we obtain a complete classification of the…
Let $X$ be a quasi-projective curve, compactified to $(Y,D)$ with $X=Y-D$. We construct a Deligne-Hitchin twistor space out of moduli spaces of framed $\lambda$-connections of rank $2$ over $Y$ with logarithmic singularities and…
We present a systematic study of an extension of the Standard Model (SM) with two Higgs doublets and one complex singlet (2HDM+S). In order to gain analytical understanding of the parameter space, we re-parameterize the 27 parameters in the…
A topological condition is given, characterizing which closed manifolds in dimensions < 8 (and conjecturally in general) admit symplectic structures. The condition is the existence of a certain fibration-like structure called a hyperpencil.…
We study the symplectic geometry of the moduli space of closed n-gons with fixed side-lengths in hyperbolic 3-space. We prove that these moduli spaces have a symplectic structure coming from Poisson Lie theory. We construct completely…
We introduce a deformed product construction for simple polytopes in terms of lower-triangular block matrix representations. We further show how Gale duality can be employed for the construction and for the analysis of deformed products…
In this report, the explicit probability density functions of the random Euclidean distances associated with regular hexagons are given, when the two endpoints of a link are randomly distributed in the same hexagon, and two adjacent…
Several commonly observed physical and biological systems are arranged in shapes that closely resemble an honeycomb cluster, that is, a tessellation of the plane by regular hexagons. Although these shapes are not always the direct product…
We construct a new partial geometry with parameters pg(5,5,2), not isomorphic to the partial geometry of van Lint and Schrijver.
We show that, if the representation group $R$ of a slim dense near hexagon $S$ is non-abelian, then $R$ is of exponent 4 and $|R|=2^{\beta}$, $1+NPdim(S)\leq \beta\leq 1+dimV(S)$, where $NPdim(S)$ is the near polygon embedding dimension of…
Singular nonsymmetric Macdonald polynomials are constructed by use of the representation theory of the Hecke algebras of the symmetric groups. These polynomials are labeled by quasistaircase partitions and are associated to special…
Let G be a split semi-simple algebraic group over Q. Let S be a decorated surface, that is a topological oriented surface with a finite set of marked points on the boundary, considered modulo isotopy. We introduce a moduli space D(G,S) and…
