More than $30$ years ago, Delandtsheer and Doyen showed that the automorphism group of a block-transitive $2$-design, with blocks of size $k$, could leave invariant a nontrivial point-partition, but only if the number of points was bounded…

We show how the variational characterisation of spherical designs can be used to take a union of spherical designs to obtain a spherical design of higher order (degree, precision, exactness) with a small number of points. The examples that…

We show that for any quasimeromorphic mapping with an essential singularity at infinity, there exist points whose iterates tend to infinity arbitrarily slowly. This extends a result by Nicks for quasiregular mappings, and Rippon and…

A balanced incomplete block design is a set system in which all pairs of distinct elements occur with a constant frequency. By contrast, a Sarvate-Beam design induces an interval of distinct frequencies on pairs. In this paper, we settle…

Almost block diagonal linear systems of equations can be exemplified by two modules. This makes it possible to construct all sequential forms of band and/or block elimination methods, six old and fourteen new. It allows easy assessment of…

We prove coherence of relatively quasi-free algebras over noetherian rings. Chase criterion for coherence is used.

We give a necessary and suffcient condition for almost-flat manifolds with cyclic holonomy to admit a Spin structure. Using this condition we find all 4-dimensional orientable almost- flat manifolds with cyclic holonomy that do not admit a…

It is shown that among all tight designs in FP^n, where F is R, C, or H (quaternions), other than RP^1, only 5-designs in CP^1 have irrational angle set. This is the only case of equal ranks of the first and the last irreducible idempotent…

We prove that the dimension of a quartic symmetroid singular along a quadric of codimension 1 is at most 4, if it is not a cone. In the maximal case, the quadric is reducible and consists of rank-3-points. If the quadric is irreducible, it…

We show that there exists a link with 2 components which is not smoothly slice in $\mathbb{CP}^2 \# \overline{\mathbb{CP}^2}$. By contrast, it is well-known that every knot (i.e., link with 1 component) is smoothly slice therein. Our proof…

A spherical $t$-design is a finite subset $X$ of the unit sphere such that every polynomial of degree at most $t$ has the same average over $X$ as it does over the entire sphere. Determining the minimum possible size of spherical designs,…

We consider partially ordered sets of combinatorial structures under consecutive orders, meaning that two structures are related when one embeds in the other such that `consecutive' elements remain consecutive in the image. Given such a…

An arrangement of pseudocircles is a collection of simple closed curves on the sphere or in the plane such that any two of the curves are either disjoint or intersect in exactly two crossing points. We call an arrangement intersecting if…

We prove that for every pair of quantum isomorphic graphs, their block trees and their block graphs are isomorphic, and that such an isomorphism can be chosen so that the corresponding blocks are quantum isomorphic -- in particular,…

Fracture in quasi-statically driven systems is studied by means of a discrete spring-block model. Developed from close comparison with desiccation experiments, it describes crack formation induced by friction on a substrate. The model…

In this paper, we introduce patchwork constructions for multivariate quasi-copulas. These results appear to be new since the kind of approach has been limited to either copulas or only bivariate quasi-copulas so far. It seems that the…

Let $n$, $k$, and $t$ be integers satisfying $n>k>t\ge2$. A Steiner system with parameters $t$, $k$, and $n$ is a $k$-uniform hypergraph on $n$ vertices in which every set of $t$ distinct vertices is contained in exactly one edge. An…

We emphasize intertwining relations as a universal tool in constructing one-dimensional quasi-exactly solvable operators and offer their possible generalization to the multidimensional case. Considered examples include all quasi-exactly…

An automorphism group of an incidence structure I induces a tactical decomposition on I. It is well known that tactical decompositions of t-designs satisfy certain necessary conditions which can be expressed as equations in terms of the…

A group-theoretical approach to the construction of quasiperiodic tilings of a Euclidean plane, possessing five-fold symmetry, is applied. Of the infinitely many of variants of quasiperiodic partitions of the plane, possessing the dihedral…
