In 2020, Lin and Yu claimed to prove the so-called Lemmens-Seidel conjecture for base size $5$. However, their proof has a gap, and in fact, some set of equiangular lines found by Greaves et al. in 2021 is a counterexample to one of their…

In this paper Seidel matrices are studied, and their spectrum and several related algebraic properties are determined for order $n\leq 13$. Based on this Seidel matrices with exactly three distinct eigenvalues of order $n\leq 23$ are…

New bounds on the number of similar or directly similar copies of a pattern within a finite subset of the line or the plane are proved. The number of equilateral triangles whose vertices all lie within an $n$-point subset of the plane is…

I introduce the problem of finding maximal sets of equiangular lines, in both its real and complex versions, attempting to write the treatment that I would have wanted when I first encountered the subject. Equiangular lines intersect in the…

In this note, we study the maximum number $N_\alpha(d)$ of a system of equiangular lines in $\mathbb{R}^d$ with cosine $\alpha$, where $\frac{1}{\alpha}$ is not an odd positive integer. This note is motivated by a remark in a $2018$ paper…

We introduce the notion of p-adic equiangular lines and derive the first fundamental relation between common angle, dimension of the space and the number of lines. More precisely, we show that if $\{\tau_j\}_{j=1}^n$ is p-adic…

Let $P$ be a set of $n$ green and $n - k$ red points in $\mathbb{C}^2$. A line determined by $i$ green and $j$ red points such that $i + j \ge 2$ and $|i - j| \le r$ is called \emph{r-equichromatic}. We establish lower bounds for…

Many problems in combinatorial geometry can be formulated in terms of curves or surfaces containing many points of a cartesian product. In 2000, Elekes and R\'onyai proved that if the graph of a polynomial contains $cn^2$ points of an…

We prove a general upper bound on the $k$-th adjacency eigenvalue of a graph. For $k\ge 2$, we show that \[ \lambda_k(G)\le \frac{(k-2)\sqrt{k+1}+2}{2k(k-1)}\,n-1 \] for every graph $G$ on $n$ vertices. We build on a recent approach that…

Jiang, Tidor, Yao, Zhang, and Zhao recently showed that connected bounded degree graphs have sublinear second eigenvalue multiplicity (always referring to the adjacency matrix). This result was a key step in the solution to the problem of…

In 2023, Greaves et~al.\ constructed several sets of 57 equiangular lines in dimension 18. Using the concept of switching root introduced by Cao et~al.\ in 2021, these sets of equiangular lines are embedded in a lattice of rank 19 spanned…

The relation between equiangular sets of lines in the real space and distance-regular double covers of the complete graph is well known and studied since the work of Seidel and others in the 70's. The main topic of this paper is to continue…

The seminal work by Mackey et al. in 2006 (reference [21] of the article) introduced vector spaces of matrix pencils, with the property that almost all the pencils in the spaces are strong linearizations of a given square regular matrix…

A set of vectors of equal norm in $\mathbb{C}^d$ represents equiangular lines if the magnitudes of the inner product of every pair of distinct vectors in the set are equal. The maximum size of such a set is $d^2$, and it is conjectured that…

A topological graph is $k$-quasi-planar if it does not contain $k$ pairwise crossing edges. A 20-year-old conjecture asserts that for every fixed $k$, the maximum number of edges in a $k$-quasi-planar graph on $n$ vertices is $O(n)$. Fox…

In graph theory a partition of the vertex set of a graph is called equitable if for all pairs of cells all vertices in one cell have an equal number of neighbours in the other cell. Considering the implications for the adjacency matrix one…

Linear codes in the projective space $\mathbb{P}_q(n)$, the set of all subspaces of the vector space $\mathbb{F}_q^n$, were first considered by Braun, Etzion and Vardy. The Grassmannian $\mathbb{G}_q(n,k)$ is the collection of all subspaces…

The graphs with all equal negative or positive eigenvalues are special kind in the spectral graph theory. In this article, several iterated line graphs $\mathcal{L}^k(G)$ with all equal negative eigenvalues $-2$ are characterized for $k\ge…

Let $r(k)$ denote the maximum number of edges in a $k$-uniform intersecting family with covering number $k$. Erd\H{o}s and Lov\'asz proved that $ \lfloor k! (e-1) \rfloor \leq r(k) \leq k^k.$ Frankl, Ota, and Tokushige improved the lower…

This thesis is a study of large sets of unit vectors in $\cx^n$ such that the absolute value of their standard inner products takes on only a small number of values. We begin with bounds: what is the maximal size of a set of lines with only…
