Blocking Structures of Hermitian Varieties

Given a hermitian variety H(d,q²) and an integer k (d–1)/2, a blocking set with respect to k-subspaces is a set of points of H(d,q²) that meets all k-subspaces of H(d,q²). If H(d,q²) is naturally embedded in PG(d,q²), then linear examples for such a blocking set are the ones that lie in a subspace of codimension k of PG(d,q²). Up to isomorphism there are k+1 non-isomorphic minimal linear blocking sets, and these have different cardinalities. In this paper it is shown for 1 k< (d–1)/2 that all sufficiently small minimal blocking sets of H(d,q²) with respect to k-subspaces are linear. For 1 k< d/2–3, it is even proved that the k+1 minimal linear blocking sets are smaller than all minimal non-linear ones.AMS Classification: 1991 MSC: 51E20, 51E21     

On Quasi‐Hermitian Varieties

Quasi‐Hermitian varieties in are combinatorial generalizations of the (nondegenerate) Hermitian variety so that and have the same size and the same intersection numbers with hyperplanes. In this paper, we construct a new family of quasi‐Hermitian varieties. The isomorphism problem for the associated strongly regular graphs is discussed for .     

Hermitian-Poisson Metrics on Flat Bundles over Complete Hermitian Manifolds

In this paper, the author solves the Dirichlet problem for Hermitian-Poisson metric equation √?1Λ_ωG_H = λId and proves the existence of Hermitian-Poisson metrics on flat bundles over a class of complete Hermitian manifolds. When λ = 0, the HermitianPoisson metric is a Hermitian harmonic metric.     

Complete p-Descent for Jacobians of Hermitian Curves

Let X be the Fermat curve of degree q+1 over the field k of q² elements, where q is some prime power. Considering the Jacobian J of X as a constant abelian variety over the function field k(X), we calculate the multiplicities, in subfactors of the Shafarevich–Tate group, of representations associated with the action on X of a finite unitary group. J is isogenous to a power of a supersingular elliptic curve E, the structure of whose Shafarevich–Tate group is also described.     

Complete Systems of Lines on a Hermitian Surface over a Finite Field

The aim is to find the maximum size of a set of mutually ske lines on a nonsingular Hermitian surface in PG(3, q) for various values of q. For q = 9 such extremal sets are intricate combinatorial structures intimately connected ith hemisystems, subreguli, and commuting null polarities. It turns out they are also closely related to the classical quartic surface of Kummer. Some bounds and examples are also given in the general case.     

Quiver Quotient Varieties and Complete Intersections

In this paper, we classify all the symmetric quivers and corresponding dimension vectors whose quotient space, classifying the semisimple representation classes, is a complete intersection. The result we obtain is that such quivers can be reduced to a few number of basic quivers, using some elementary types of reduction. Presented by L.

Certain Minimal Varieties Are Set-Theoretic Complete Intersections

We present a class of homogeneous ideals which are generated by monomials and binomials of degree 2 and are set-theoretic complete intersections. This class includes certain reducible varieties of minimal degree and, in particular, the presentation ideals of the fiber cone algebras of monomial varieties of codimension 2.     

On Linear Dependence Over Complete Differential Algebraic Varieties

We extend Kolchin's results from [12 Kolchin, E. (1974). Differential equations in a projective space and linear dependence over a projective variety. Contributions to analysis (A collection of papers dedicated to Lipman Bers). Cambridge, MA: Academic Press, pp. 195–214.[Crossref] , [Google Scholar]] on linear dependence over the constant points of projective algebraic varieties to linear dependence over arbitrary complete differential algebraic varieties. We show that in this more general setting, the notion of linear dependence still has necessary and sufficient conditions given by the vanishing of a certain system of differential-polynomials equations. We also discuss some conjectural questions around completeness and the catenary problem.

Complete arcs arising from a generalization of the Hermitian curve (extended abstract)

We investigate arcs, in projective planes over finite fields, arising from the set of rational points of a generalization of the Hermitian curve. The degree of the arcs is closely related to the number of rational points of a class of Artin-Schreier curves.     

Dimensions of Tight Spans

Given a finite metric, one can construct its tight span, a geometric object representing the metric. The dimension of a tight span encodes, among other things, the size of the space of explanatory trees for that metric; for instance, if the metric is a tree metric, the dimension of the tight span is one. We show that the dimension of the tight span of a generic metric is between

Congruence of Hermitian matrices by Hermitian matrices

Two Hermitian matrices A,B∈M_n(C) are said to be Hermitian-congruent if there exists a nonsingular Hermitian matrix C∈M_n(C) such that B=CAC. In this paper, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for two nonsingular simultaneously unitarily diagonalizable Hermitian matrices A and B to be Hermitian-congruent. Moreover, when A and B are Hermitian-congruent, we describe the possible inertias of the Hermitian matrices C that carry the congruence. We also give necessary and sufficient conditions for any 2-by-2 nonsingular Hermitian matrices to be Hermitian-congruent. In both of the studied cases, we show that if A and B are real and Hermitian-congruent, then they are congruent by a real symmetric matrix. Finally we note that if A and B are 2-by-2 nonsingular real symmetric matrices having the same sign pattern, then there is always a real symmetric matrix C satisfying B=CAC. Moreover, if both matrices are positive, then C can be picked with arbitrary inertia.     

Hermitian structures on six-dimensional nilmanifolds

Let (J,g) be a Hermitian structure on a six-dimensional compact nilmanifold M with invariant complex structure J and compatible metric g, which is not required to be invariant. We show that, up to equivalence of the complex structure, the strong Kahler with torsion structures (J,g) on M are parametrized by the points in a subset of the Euclidean space, in particular, the region inside a certain ovaloid corresponds to such structures on the Iwasawa manifold and the region outside to strong Kahler with torsion structures with nonabelian J on the nilmanifold where H³ is the Heisenberg group. A classification of six-dimensional nilmanifolds admitting balanced Hermitian structures (J,g) is given, and as an application we classify the nilmanifolds having invariant complex structures which do not admit Hermitian structure with restricted holonomy of the Bismut connection contained in SU(3). It is also shown that on the nilmanifold the balanced condition is not stable under small deformations. Finally, we prove that a compact quotient of where H(2,1) is the five-dimensional generalized Heisenberg group, is the only six-dimensional nilmanifold having locally conformal Kahler metrics, and the complex structures underlying such metrics are all equivalent. Moreover, this nilmanifold is a Vaisman manifold for any invariant locally conformal Kahler metric.
