In this paper we consider the following question. What is the maximum number of pairwise disjoint $k$-spreads which exist in PG(n,q)? We prove that if k+1 divides n+1 and n>k then there exist at least two disjoint k-spreads in PG(n,q) and…

Every maximum scattered linear set in $\mathrm{PG}(1,q^5)$ is the projection of an $\mathbb{F}_q$-subgeometry $\Sigma$ of $\mathrm{PG}(4,q^5)$ from a plane $\Gamma$ external to the secant variety to $\Sigma$. The pair $(\Gamma,\Sigma)$ will…

We present a construction for minimal blocking sets with respect to $(k-1)$-spaces in $\mathrm{PG}(n-1,q^t)$, the $(n-1)$-dimensional projective space over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_{q^t}$ of order $q^t$. The construction relies on the…

We study symplectic minimal resolutions of weighted projective planes $\mathbb{CP}(a,b,c)$ from the perspective of disconnected symplectic divisors with symplectic log Kodaira dimension $-\infty$. Building on the techniques developed in our…

Let $q$ be a fixed odd prime. We show that a finite subset $B$ of integers, not containing any perfect $q^{th}$ power, contains a $q^{th}$ power modulo almost every prime if and only if $B$ corresponds to a blocking set (with respect to…

In the three-dimensional projective space PG(3,q) over the finite field F_q with q elements, we consider the normal rational curve known as a twisted cubic and the projectivity group G_q that fixes it. For q = 2, 3, 4, we solve the open…

For a set $G$ of points in $\PG(m-1,q)$, let $\ex_q(G;n)$, denote the maximum size of a collection of points in $\PG(n-1,q)$ not containing a copy of $G$, up to projective equivalence. We show that \[\lim_{n\rightarrow \infty}…

In this article we study polynomial logarithmic $q$-forms on a projective space and characterize those that define singular foliations of codimension $q$. Our main result is the algebraic proof of their infinitesimal stability when $q=2$…

In this paper, we prove that the largest pure partial plane of order 6 has size 25. At the same time, we classify all pure partial planes of order 6 and size 25 up to isomorphism. Our major approach is computer search. The search space is…

We prove that, for $q$ odd, a set of $q+2$ points in the projective plane over the field with $q$ elements has at least $2q-c$ odd secants, where $c$ is a constant and an odd secant is a line incident with an odd number of points of the…

In this paper, we characterise the smallest sets $B$ consisting of points and hyperplanes in $\text{PG}(n,q)$, such that each $k$-space is incident with at least one element of $B$. If $k > \frac {n-1} 2$, then the smallest construction…

We improve on the lower bound of the maximum number of planes of ${\rm PG}(8,q)$ mutually intersecting in at most one point leading to the following lower bound: ${\cal A}_q(9, 4; 3) \ge q^{12}+2q^8+2q^7+q^6+q^5+q^4+1$ for constant…

Two vertices u,v of connected graph G are doubly resolved by x,y\in V(G)if d(v; x)-d(u; x)\neq d(v; y)-d(u; y): A set W of vertices of the graph G is a doubly resolving set for G if every two distinct vertices of G are doubly resolved by…

We study the finite basis problem for $4$-element additively idempotent semirings whose additive reducts are quasi-antichains. Up to isomorphism, there are $93$ such algebras. We show that with the exception of the semiring $S_{(4, 435)}$,…

Let $A=\mathcal{A}(E,\sigma)$ be a $3$-dimensional quantum polynomial algebra where $E$ is $\mathbb{P}^{2}$ or a cubic divisor in $\mathbb{P}^{2}$, and $\sigma\in \mathrm{Aut}_{k}E$. Artin-Tate-Van den Bergh proved that $A$ is finite over…

We present two methods to algorithmically compute both least and greatest solutions of polynomial equation systems over absorptive semirings (with certain completeness and continuity assumptions), such as the tropical semiring. Both methods…

Let $G$ be a connected graph and $W=\{ w_1, w_2, \ldots, w_k \} \subseteq V(G)$ be an ordered set. For every vertex $v$, the metric representation of $v$ with respect to $W$ is an ordered $k$-vector defined as $r(v|W):=(d(v,w_1), d(v,w_2),…

This paper aims to study linear sets of minimum size in the projective line, that is $\mathbb{F}_q$-linear sets of rank $k$ in $\mathrm{PG}(1,q^n)$ admitting one point of weight one and having size $q^{k-1}+1$. Examples of these linear sets…

In this article we present the largest set of unitals (totally 553) in projective planes of order 16. An open question is what is the number of the known unitals that are non-isomorphic to the reported ones. The results are obtained with a…

We discuss the global regularity of 2 dimensional minimal sets that are near a union of two planes, and prove that every global minimal set in R^4 that looks like a union of two almost orthogonal planes at infinity is a cone. The main point…
