There are no sharply transitive subsets of for

John Bamberg, Sam Mattheus

It was known at least to L.E. Dickson in 1901 that , in its natural action on , has a sharply transitive subgroup only when $q\in\{2…

Every special set of the Hermitian surface is classical

John Bamberg, Ethan Kealley

Special sets of the Hermitian surface , odd, were introduced by Shult and Thas (1995) in order to construct new finite generalised quadrangles, yet only one…

Affine vector space partitions

John Bamberg, Yuval Filmus, Ferdinand Ihringer +1

An affine vector space partition of is a set of proper affine subspaces that partitions the set of points. Here we determine minimum sizes and enumerate eq…

Separating rank 3 graphs

John Bamberg, Michael Giudici, Jesse Lansdown +1

We classify, up to some notoriously hard cases, the rank 3 graphs which fail to meet either the Delsarte or the Hoffman bound. As a consequence, we resolve the question of separati…

Codes and Designs in Johnson Graphs From Symplectic Actions on Quadratic Forms

John Bamberg, Alice Devillers, Mark Ioppolo +1

The Johnson graph has as vertices the -subsets of , and two vertices are joined by an edge if their intersection has size . An \emph{…

Pseudo-ovals of elliptic quadrics as Delsarte designs of association schemes

John Bamberg, Giusy Monzillo, Alessandro Siciliano

A - of a finite projective space over a finite field of odd order is a configuration of equidimensional subspaces that is essentially equivalent to a translation…
