Partial spreads in finite projective spaces and partial designs
1975
A partial t-spread of a projective space P is a collection 5 p of t-dimensional subspaces of P of the same order with the property that any point of P is contained in at most one element of 50. A partial t-spread 5 p of P is said to be a t-spread if each point of P is contained in an element of 5P; a partial t-spread which is not a spread will be called strictly partial. Partial t-spreads are frequently used for constructions of affine planes, nets, and Sperner spaces (see for instance Bruck and Bose [5], Barlotti and Cofman [2]). The extension of nets to affine planes is related to the following problem: When can a partial t-spread 5 ~ of a projective space P be embedded into a larger part…
groups acting on the line and the circle with at most N fixed points
2022
A classical theme in dynamical systems is that the first fundamental information comes from the understanding of periodic orbits. When studying group actions, this means that we want to understand the fixed points of elements of the group, and a natural question that emerges from that is: Which groups of homeomorphisms can act on a 1-manifold having all non-trivial elements with at most N fixed points? Our main objective in this work is to approach that question and understand what properties can such dynamical hypothesis induces to the group.For the case N=0, a classical result from O. Hölder implies that such group of homeomorphisms acting on the line is always semi-conjugate to a subgrou…
