SynopsisThis paper is a continuation of [2], where we introduced the notion of global k-spreads on manifolds. Here we show that the space of all k-spreads on a manifold has the structure of an affine space, modelled on the vector space of sections of a certain vector bundle. We give some sufficient conditions for a manifold admitting an integrable k-spread to be a space of constant curvature and answer one of the questions raised in [2].

AbstractIn this paper, we consider a finite-dimensional vector space {{\mathcal{P}}} over the Galois field {\operatorname{GF}(p)}, with p being an odd prime, and the family {{\mathcal{B}}_{k}^{x}} of all k-sets of elements of {\mathcal{P}} summing up to a given element x. The main result of the paper is the characterization, for {x=0}, of the permutations of {\mathcal{P}} inducing permutations of {{\mathcal{B}}_{k}^{0}} as the invertible linear mappings of the vector space {\mathcal{P}} if p does not divide k, and as the invertible affinities of the affine space {\mathcal{P}} if p divides k. The same question is answered also in the case where the elements of the k-sets are required to be all nonzero, and, in fact, the two cases prove to be intrinsically inseparable.

It is well known that a translation plane can be represented in a vector space over a field F where F is a subfield of the kernel of a quasifield which coordinatizes the plane [1; 2; 4, p.220; 10]. If II is a finite translation plane of order qr (q = pn, p any prime), then II may be represented in V2r(q), the vector space of dimension 2r over GF(q), as follows:(i) The points of II are the vectors in V = V2r(q)(ii) The lines of II are(a) A set of qr + 1 mutually disjoint r-dimensional subspaces of V.(b) All translates of in V.(iii) Incidence is inclusion.

Haas' theorem describes all partchworkings of a given non-singular plane tropical curve $C$ giving rise to a maximal real algebraic curve. The space of such patchworkings is naturally a linear subspace $W_C$ of the $\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}$-vector space $\overrightarrow \Pi_C$ generated by the bounded edges of $C$, and whose origin is the Harnack patchworking. The aim of this note is to provide an interpretation of affine subspaces of $\overrightarrow \Pi_C $ parallel to $W_C$. To this purpose, we work in the setting of abstract graphs rather than plane tropical curves. We introduce a topological surface $S_\Gamma$ above a trivalent graph $\Gamma$, and consider a suitable affine space $\Pi_\Gamma$ of real structures on $S_\Gamma$ compatible with $\Gamma$. We characterise $W_\Gamma$ as the vector subspace of $\overrightarrow \Pi_\Gamma$ whose associated involutions induce the same action on $H_1(S_\Gamma,\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z})$. We then deduce from this statement another proof of Haas' original result. Comment: 22 pages, 14 figures

Let [Formula: see text] be the vector space of homogeneous forms of degree [Formula: see text] on [Formula: see text], with [Formula: see text]. The object of our study is the map [Formula: see text], introduced in earlier papers by J. Alper, M. Eastwood and the author, that assigns to every form for which the discriminant [Formula: see text] does not vanish the so-called associated form lying in the space [Formula: see text]. This map is a morphism from the affine variety [Formula: see text] to the affine space [Formula: see text]. Letting [Formula: see text] be the smallest integer such that the product [Formula: see text] extends to a morphism from [Formula: see text] to [Formula: see text], one observes that the extended map defines a contravariant of forms in [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we obtain upper bounds for [Formula: see text] thus providing estimates for the contravariant’s degree.
