On Rusakov’s n -ary r s -groups

Wiesław Aleksander Dudek, Zoran Stojaković (2001)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Properties of n -ary groups connected with the affine geometry are considered. Some conditions for an n -ary r s -group to be derived from a binary group are given. Necessary and sufficient conditions for an n -ary group < θ , b > -derived from an additive group of a field to be an r s -group are obtained. The existence of non-commutative n -ary r s -groups which are not derived from any group of arity m < n for every n 3 , r > 2 is proved.

On sets of vectors of a finite vector space in which every subset of basis size is a basis

Simeon Ball (2012)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

It is shown that the maximum size of a set S of vectors of a k -dimensional vector space over 𝔽 q , with the property that every subset of size k is a basis, is at most q + 1 , if k p , and at most q + k p , if q k p + 1 4 , where q = p k and p is prime. Moreover, for k p , the sets S of maximum size are classified, generalising Beniamino Segre’s “arc is a conic” theorem. These results have various implications. One such implication is that a k × ( p + 2 ) matrix, with k p and entries from 𝔽 p , has k columns which are linearly dependent. Another is...
