THE INVARIANT FACTORS OF THE INCIDENCE MATRICES OF POINTS AND SUBSPACES IN PG(n, q) AND AG(n, q)

چکیده
We determine the Smith normal forms of the incidence matrices of points and projective (r − 1)-dimensional subspaces of PG(n, q) and of the incidence matrices of points and r-dimensional affine subspaces of AG(n, q) for all n, r, and arbitrary prime power q.

Generalized Veronesean embeddings of projective spaces
We classify all embeddings θ : PG(n, q) −→ PG(d, q), with d ≥ n(n+3) 2 , such that θ maps the set of points of each line to a set of coplanar points and such that the image of θ generates PG(d, q). It turns out that d = 1 2n(n+3) and all examples are related to the quadric Veronesean of PG(n, q) in PG(d, q) and its projections from subspaces of PG(d, q) generated by sub-Veroneseans (the point s...
متن کاملBook spreads in PG(7, 2)
An (n, q, r, s) book is a collection of r-subspaces in PG(n, q) called pages, which cover the whole projective space and intersect in a common s-subspace called the spine such that any point outside the spine is in exactly one page. An (n, q, r, s) book t-spread is a t-spread in PG(n, q) for which there exists an (n, q, r, s) book, such that the points of each page of this book and hence the po...
متن کاملOn Sets with Few Intersection Numbers in Finite Projective and Affine Spaces
In this paper we study sets X of points of both affine and projective spaces over the Galois field GF(q) such that every line of the geometry that is neither contained in X nor disjoint from X meets the set X in a constant number of points and we determine all such sets. This study has its main motivation in connection with a recent study of neighbour transitive codes in Johnson graphs by Liebl...
متن کاملMixed partitions and related designs
We define a mixed partition of Π = PG(d, qr) to be a partition of the points of Π into subspaces of two distinct types, for instance, a partition of PG(2n− 1, q2) into (n− 1)-spaces and Baer subspaces of dimension 2n− 1. In this paper we provide a group theoretic method for constructing a robust class of such partitions. It is known that a mixed partition of PG(2n−1, q2) can be used to construc...
متن کاملThe p-Rank of the Incidence Matrix of Intersecting Linear Subspaces
Let V be a vector space of dimension n+1 over a field of p elements. A d-dimensional subspace and an e-dimensional subspace are considered to be incident if their intersection is not the zero subspace. The rank of these incidence matrices, modulo p, are computed for all n, d, e and t. This result generalizes the well known formula of Hamada for the incidence matrices between points and subspace...
