Additivity of affine designs

2020

We show that any affine block design $$\mathcal{D}=(\mathcal{P},\mathcal{B})$$ is a subset of a suitable commutative group $${\mathfrak {G}}_\mathcal{D},$$ with the property that a k-subset of $$\mathcal{P}$$ is a block of $$\mathcal{D}$$ if and only if its k elements sum up to zero. As a consequence, the group of automorphisms of any affine design $$\mathcal{D}$$ is the group of automorphisms of $${\mathfrak {G}}_\mathcal{D}$$ that leave $$\mathcal P$$ invariant. Whenever k is a prime p,  $${\mathfrak {G}}_\mathcal{D}$$ is an elementary abelian p-group.

A coincidence-point problem of Perov type on rectangular cone metric spaces

2017

We consider a coincidence-point problem in the setting of rectangular cone metric spaces. Using alpha-admissible mappings and following Perov's approach, we establish some existence and uniqueness results for two self-mappings. Under a compatibility assumption, we also solve a common fixed-point problem.

Free sequences and the tightness of pseudoradial spaces

2019

Let F(X) be the supremum of cardinalities of free sequences in X. We prove that the radial character of every Lindelof Hausdorff almost radial space X and the set-tightness of every Lindelof Hausdorff space are always bounded above by F(X). We then improve a result of Dow, Juhasz, Soukup, Szentmiklossy and Weiss by proving that if X is a Lindelof Hausdorff space, and $$X_\delta $$ denotes the $$G_\delta $$ topology on X then $$t(X_\delta ) \le 2^{t(X)}$$ . Finally, we exploit this to prove that if X is a Lindelof Hausdorff pseudoradial space then $$F(X_\delta ) \le 2^{F(X)}$$ .

Cardinal estimates involving the weak Lindelöf game

2021

AbstractWe show that if X is a first-countable Urysohn space where player II has a winning strategy in the game $$G^{\omega _1}_1({\mathcal {O}}, {\mathcal {O}}_D)$$ G 1 ω 1 ( O , O D ) (the weak Lindelöf game of length $$\omega _1$$ ω 1 ) then X has cardinality at most continuum. This may be considered a partial answer to an old question of Bell, Ginsburg and Woods. It is also the best result of this kind since there are Hausdorff first-countable spaces of arbitrarily large cardinality where player II has a winning strategy even in the weak Lindelöf game of countable length. We also tackle the problem of finding a bound on the cardinality of a first-countable space where player II has a wi…

On Hurwitz spaces of coverings with one special fiber

2009

Let X X' Y be a covering of smooth, projective complex curves such that p is a degree 2 etale covering and f is a degree d covering, with monodromy group Sd, branched in n + 1 points one of which is a special point whose local monodromy has cycle type given by the partition e = (e1,...,er) of d. We study such coverings whose monodromy group is either W(Bd) or wN(W(Bd))(G1)w-1 for some w in W(Bd), where W(Bd) is the Weyl group of type Bd, G1 is the subgroup of W(Bd) generated by reflections with respect to the long roots ei - ej and N(W(Bd))(G1) is the normalizer of G1. We prove that in both cases the corresponding Hurwitz spaces are not connected and hence are not irreducible. In fact, we s…

Algebraic Groups and Lie Groups with Few Factors

2008

In the theory of locally compact topological groups, the aspects and notions from abstract group theory have conquered a meaningful place from the beginning (see New Bibliography in [44] and, e.g. [41–43]). Imposing grouptheoretical conditions on the closed connected subgroups of a topological group has always been the way to develop the theory of locally compact groups along the lines of the theory of abstract groups. Despite the fact that the class of algebraic groups has become a classical object in the mathematics of the last decades, most of the attention was concentrated on reductive algebraic groups. For an affine connected solvable algebraic group G, the theorem of Lie–Kolchin has b…

Binary Hamming codes and Boolean designs

2021

AbstractIn this paper we consider a finite-dimensional vector space $${\mathcal {P}}$$ P over the Galois field $${\text {GF}}(2),$$ GF ( 2 ) , and the family $${\mathcal {B}}_k$$ B k (respectively, $${\mathcal {B}}_k^*$$ B k ∗ ) of all the k-sets of elements of $$\mathcal {P}$$ P (respectively, of $${\mathcal {P}}^*= {\mathcal {P}} \setminus \{0\}$$ P ∗ = P \ { 0 } ) summing up to zero. We compute the parameters of the 3-design $$({\mathcal {P}},{\mathcal {B}}_k)$$ ( P , B k ) for any (necessarily even) k, and of the 2-design $$({\mathcal {P}}^{*},{\mathcal {B}}_k^{*})$$ ( P ∗ , B k ∗ ) for any k. Also, we find a new proof for the weight distribution of the binary Hamming code. Moreover, we…

Best approximation and variational inequality problems involving a simulation function

2016

We prove the existence of a g-best proximity point for a pair of mappings, by using suitable hypotheses on a metric space. Moreover, we establish some convergence results for a variational inequality problem, by using the variational characterization of metric projections in a real Hilbert space. Our results are applicable to classical problems of optimization theory.
