We study the linear algebra of finite subsets $S$ of a Segre variety $X$. In particular we classify the pairs $(S,X)$ with $S$ linear dependent and $\#(S)\le 5$. We consider an additional condition for linear dependent sets (no two of their…

This work focuses on higgledy-piggledy sets of $k$-subspaces in $\text{PG}(N,q)$, i.e. sets of projective subspaces that are 'well-spread-out'. More precisely, the set of intersection points of these $k$-subspaces with any $(N-k)$-subspace…

In this note, we consider all possible extensions G of a non-trivial perfect group H acting faithfully on a K3 surface X. The pair (X, G) is proved to be uniquely determined by G if the transcendental value of G is maximum. In particular,…

New upper bounds on the smallest size t_{2}(2,q) of a complete arc in the projective plane PG(2,q) are obtained for 853<= q<= 2879 and q=3511,4096, 4523,5003,5347,5641,5843,6011. For q<= 2377 and q=2401,2417,2437, the relation…

A $(k; r, s; n, q)$-set (short: $(r,s)$-set) of $\mathrm{PG}(n, q)$ is a set of points $X$ with $|X| = k$ such that no $s$-space contains more than $r$ points of $X$. We investigate the asymptotic size of $(r, s)$-sets for $n$ fixed and $q…

In this paper we consider linear systems of $\mathbb{P}^2$ with all but one of the base points of multiplicity 5. We give an explicit way to evaluate the dimensions of such systems.

According to a computer search conducted by the author and described in [7], in $Q^+(6, 4)$ there are two types of hyperovals, having 72 and 96 points, respectively. Here we give geometric descriptions for these examples.

Given a convex set and an interior point close to the boundary, we prove the existence of a supporting hyperplane whose distance to the point is controlled, in a dimensionally quantified way, by the thickness of the convex set in the…

The subject of this paper is the study of small complete arcs in $\mathrm{PG}(2,q)$, for $q$ odd, with at least $(q+1)/2$ points on a conic. We give a short comprehensive proof of the completeness problem left open by Segre in his seminal…

We consider a non-degenerate conic in $\PG(2,q^2)$, $q$ odd, that is tangent to $\ell_\infty$ and look at its structure in the Bruck-Bose representation in $\PG(4,q)$. We determine which combinatorial properties of this set of points in…

Let $p(m)$ (respectively, $q(m)$) be the maximum number $k$ such that any tree with $m$ edges can be transformed by contracting edges (respectively, by removing vertices) into a caterpillar with $k$ edges. We derive closed-form expressions…

For any affine hypersurface defined by a complete symmetric polynomial in $k\geq 3$ variables of degree $m$ over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_{q}$ of $q$ elements, a special case of our theorem says that this hypersurface has at least…

It is shown that the Veldkamp space of the unique generalized quadrangle GQ(2,4) is isomorphic to PG(5,2). Since the GQ(2,4) features only two kinds of geometric hyperplanes, namely point's perp-sets and GQ(2,2)s, the 63 points of PG(5,2)…

We partially answer two questions of Goodaire by showing that in a finite, strongly right alternative ring, the set of units (if the ring is with unity) is a Bol loop under ring multiplication, and the set of quasiregular elements is a Bol…

A well-known conjecture asserts that there are infinitely many primes $p$ for which $p - 1$ is a perfect square. We obtain upper and lower bounds of matching order on the number of pairs of distinct primes $p,q \le x$ for which $(p - 1)(q -…

In this article, we analyse maximal sets of $k$-spaces, in PG(n,q) and AG(n,q), $n>2k+t+2$, that pairwise meet in at least a $t$-space. It is known that for both PG(n,q) and AG(n,q), the largest example is a $t$-pencil, i.e. the set of all…

We characterize the largest point sets in the plane which define at most 1, 2, and 3 angles. For $P(k)$ the largest size of a point set admitting at most $k$ angles, we prove $P(2)=5$ and $P(3)=5$. We also provide the general bounds of $k+2…

We determine (p,q)-string and (p,q)-five brane solutions of type IIB supergravity using SL(2,Z)-symmetry of the full type IIB superstring theory. We also determine SL(2,Z)-transformed solution corresponding to the bound state of NS5-branes…

This paper completes the classification of nets of conics containing at least one double line in $\mathrm{PG}(2,q)$ for $q$ even. This classification contributes to the classification of partially symmetric tensors in $\mathbb{F}_q^3…

We demonstrate a close connection between the classic planar Singer difference sets and certain norm equation systems arising from projective norm graphs. This, on the one hand leads to a novel description of planar Singer difference sets…
