The geometric field of linearity of linear sets
Dibyayoti Jena, Geertrui Van de Voorde
If an Fq-linear set LU in a projective space is defined by a vector subspace U which is linear over a proper superfield of Fq, then all of its points have weight at least 2. It is…
On the product of elements with prescribed trace
John Sheekey, José Felipe Voloch, Geertrui Van de Voorde
This paper deals with the following problem. Given a finite extension of fields and denoting the trace map from to by $\mathrm{Tr}…
Rank-metric codes, linear sets, and their duality
John Sheekey, Geertrui Van de Voorde
In this paper we investigate connections between linear sets and subspaces of linear maps. We give a geometric interpretation of the results of [18, Section 5] on linear sets on a…
Unitals with many Baer secants through a fixed point
Sara Rottey, Geertrui Van de Voorde
We show that a unital in containing a point , such that at least of the secant lines through intersect in a Baer subline, is an ovoidal…
