Abstract

Sidon spaces have been introduced by Bachoc, Serra and Zémor as the $q$-analogue of Sidon sets, classical combinatorial objects introduced by Simon Szidon. In 2018 Roth, Raviv and Tamo introduced the notion of $r$-Sidon spaces, as an extension of Sidon spaces, which may be seen as the $q$-analogue of $B_r$-sets, a generalization of classical Sidon sets. Thanks to their work, the interest on Sidon spaces has increased quickly because of their connection with cyclic subspace codes they pointed out. This class of codes turned out to be of interest since they can be used in random linear network coding. In this work we focus on a particular class of them, the one-orbit cyclic subspace codes, through the investigation of some properties of Sidon spaces and $r$-Sidon spaces, providing some upper and lower bounds on the possible dimension of their \textit{r-span} and showing explicit constructions in the case in which the upper bound is achieved. Moreover, we provide further constructions of $r$-Sidon spaces, arising from algebraic and combinatorial objects, and we show examples of $B_r$-sets constructed by means of them.

On nut graphs with two vertex and three edge orbits

Nut graphs are graphs whose adjacency matrix is singular with one-dimensional null space spanned by a vector with no zero entries. In a recent paper, Bašić, Fowler and Pisanski proved that the automorphism group of a nut graph has more orbits on the edge set than on the vertex set. They classified all orders for which a vertex-transitive nut graph with precisely two edge orbits exists, and conjectured that a nut graph with two vertex and three edge orbits exists for each non-prime order $n \ge 9$. Motivated by this conjecture, we introduce a very general construction that provides graphs with the desired symmetry properties, and we determine some sufficient spectral and structural conditions under which they are nut graphs. The construction yields infinite families of examples and confirms the above conjecture for all odd non-prime orders up to $2\,500$ and for at least $99.8$ percent of all odd non-prime orders up to a million. Finally, we present some additional interesting examples of nut graphs with two vertex and three edge orbits that do not arise from this construction.

On vertex-minimal simplicial maps to the sphere

For positive integers $n,d$, let $λ(n,d)$ be the minimal number of vertices of a triangulation of the $n$-sphere which admits a degree $d$ simplicial map onto the boundary of the $(n+1)$-simplex. We show that for $h=\lfloor\frac{n+1}2\rfloor$, the function $λ(n,d)^h$ has linear order of growth in $d$, answering a question of O. Musin. All triangulations we obtained are isomorphic to boundaries of convex polytopes in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$.
