The weak cylinder conjecture for polynomial graphs of bounded degree
Daniele Bartoli, Alessandro Giannoni
Ball's weak cylinder conjecture asserts that a set of points in with at least non-determined directions is a union of parallel lines. We prove the…
Maximum 2-scattered subspaces of for every
Daniele Bartoli, Francesco Ghiandoni, Alessandro Giannoni +2
We prove that for every prime power and every integer there exists a maximum -scattered -subspace of , that is, a -dimensional $\mathbb…
F-sets of arbitrary finite width
Alessandro Giannoni
Ferraguti and Micheli conjectured that non-trivial -sets of every prescribed width exist over each finite field. We prove the finite-width part of their conjecture over $\mathbb…
A General Construction of Codes from Drinfeld Modules
Alessandro Giannoni, Giacomo Micheli, Mihran Papikian
We construct additive rank-metric and sum-rank-metric codes from Drinfeld modules by restricting bounded-degree morphisms to prime-to-characteristic torsion. For supersingular Drin…
The extremal gap for scattered -systems
Alessandro Giannoni
Two general estimates govern the rank of an -scattered -system: the scattered upper bound and the lower bound for systems maximal under inclusion. We determine exactly when t…
Thresholds for Tic-Tac-Toe on Finite Affine Spaces
Luca Bastioni, Alessandro Giannoni, Javier Lobillo-Olmedo
We introduce an affine version of Tic-Tac-Toe played on the finite affine space . Two players alternately claim points, and the first player to occupy all points of…
An infinite family of non-extendable MRD codes
Daniele Bartoli, Alessandro Giannoni, Giuseppe Marino +1
In the realm of rank-metric codes, Maximum Rank Distance (MRD) codes are optimal algebraic structures attaining the Singleton-like bound. A major open problem in this field is dete…
Generalizing a family of scattered quadrinomials in
Alessandro Giannoni, Giovanni Giuseppe Grimaldi, Giovanni Longobardi +1
In recent years, several efforts have focused on identifying new families of scattered polynomials. Currently, only three families in are known to exist for i…
