Let $V$ be a  $(d+1)$-dimensional vector space over a field $\mathbb{F}$. Sesquilinear forms over $V$ have been largely studied when they are reflexive and hence give rise to a (possibly degenerate) polarity of  the $d$-dimensional projective space $\mathrm{PG}(V)$.  Everything is known in this case for both degenerate and non-degenerate reflexive forms if  $\mathbb{F}$  is either  ${\mathbb R}$, ${\mathbb C}$ or a finite field  ${\mathbb F}_q$.   In this paper we consider  degenerate, non-reflexive sesquilinear forms of $V=\mathbb{F}_{q^n}^3$. We will see that these forms give rise to degenerate correlations of $\mathrm{PG}(2,q^n)$ whose set of absolute points are, besides cones,  the (possibly degenerate) $C_F^m$-sets studied by Donati and Durante in 2014. In the final section we collect some  results from the huge work of B.C. Kestenband  regarding what is known for the set of  the absolute  points  of correlations in $\mathrm{PG}(2,q^n)$ induced  by a  non-degenerate, non-reflexive sesquilinear form of $V=\mathbb{F}_{q^n}^3$.

We extend some of the usual notions of projective geometry over a finite field (arcs and caps) to the case of zero-dimensional schemes defined over a finite field Fq. In particular we prove that for our type of zero-dimensional arcs the maximum degree in any r-dimensional projective space is r(q + 1) and (if either r = 2 or q is odd) all the maximal cases are projectively equivalent and come from a rational normal curve.

AbstractLet Fq be a finite field with q elements, V an n-dimensional vector space over Fq and 𝒱 the projective space associated to V. Let G≤GLn(Fq) be a classical group and PG be the corresponding projective group. In this note we prove that if Fq (V )G is purely transcendental over Fq with homogeneous polynomial generators, then Fq (𝒱)PG is also purely transcendental over Fq. We compute explicitly the generators of Fq (𝒱)PG when G is the symplectic, unitary or orthogonal group.

This paper falls into three sections: (1) a system of birational transformations of the projective plane determined by plane cubic curves of a pencil (with nine associated base points), (2) some one-many transformations determined by the pencil, and (3) a system of birational transformations of three-dimensional projective space determined by the elliptic quartic curves through eight associated points (base of a net of quadric surfaces).


In this paper a (2j + l)-spinor analysis is developed along the lines of the 2-spinor and 3-spinor ones. We define generalized connecting quantities A μv (j) which transform like (j, 0) ⊗ (j -1, 0) in spinor space and like second rank tensors under transformations in space-time. The general properties of the A uv are investigated together with algebraic relations involving the Lorentz group generators, J μv . The connexion with 3j symbols is discussed. From a purely formal point of view we introduce a geometrical representation of a (2j +1)-spinor as a point in a 2j dimensional projective space. Then, for example, the charge con­jugate of a (2j + l)-spinor is just the polar of the corresponding point with respect to a certain rational, normal curve in the projective space. It is suggested that this representation will prove useful.

Abstract We study the BPS invariants for local del Pezzo surfaces, which can be obtained as the signed Euler characteristic of the moduli spaces of stable one-dimensional sheaves on the surface $S$. We calculate the Poincaré polynomials of the moduli spaces for the curve classes $\beta $ having arithmetic genus at most 2. We formulate a conjecture that these Poincaré polynomials are divisible by the Poincaré polynomials of $((-K_S).\beta -1)$-dimensional projective space. This conjecture motivates the upcoming work on log BPS numbers [8].

Let q be the finite field of q elements. Denote by Sr q the projective space of dimension r over q. In Sr,q, where r ≥ 2, a k-arc is defined (see [4]) as a set of k points such that no j + 2 lie in a Sj,q, for j = 1,2,…, r−1. (For a k-arc with k > r, this last condition holds for all j when it holds for j = r−1.) A rational curve Cn of order n in Sr,q, is the set
