Surfaces in $${\mathbb {P}^{4}}$$ fibered in cubics

Any algebraic surface in which is fibered in cubics, so that the generic fibre is a twisted cubic, gives rise to a curve Γ in a suitable compactification X of the space of smooth rational cubics of In this paper the case n = 4 is addressed and the corresponding space X is studied. We apply our results to complete the classification of smooth, rational surfaces in ruled in cubics. This work is within the framework of the national research project “Geometry on Algebraic Varieties” Cofin 2006 of MIUR.

On Linear Codes over $${\mathbb{Z}}_{2^{s}}$$

In an earlier paper the authors studied simplex codes of type α and β over and obtained some known binary linear and nonlinear codes as Gray images of these codes. In this correspondence, we study weight distributions of simplex codes of type α and β over The generalized Gray map is then used to construct binary codes. The linear codes meet the Griesmer bound and a few non-linear codes are obtained that meet the Plotkin/Johnson bound. We also give the weight hierarchies of the first order Reed-Muller codes over The above codes are also shown to satisfy the chain condition.A part of this paper is contained in his Ph.D. Thesis from IIT Kanpur, India     

$${\mathcal{C}}_{0}$$ ( X)-algebras,stability and strongly self-absorbing $${\mathcal{C}}^{*}$$ -algebras

We study permanence properties of the classes of stable and so-called -stable -algebras, respectively. More precisely, we show that a (X)-algebra A is stable if all its fibres are, provided that the underlying compact metrizable space X has finite covering dimension or that the Cuntz semigroup of A is almost unperforated (a condition which is automatically satisfied for -algebras absorbing the Jiang–Su algebra tensorially). Furthermore, we prove that if is a K ₁-injective strongly self-absorbing -algebra, then A absorbs tensorially if and only if all its fibres do, again provided that X is finite-dimensional. This latter statement generalizes results of Blanchard and Kirchberg. We also show that the condition on the dimension of X cannot be dropped. Along the way, we obtain a useful characterization of when a -algebra with weakly unperforated Cuntz semigroup is stable, which allows us to show that stability passes to extensions of -absorbing -algebras.

Codes defined by forms of degree 2 on non-degenerate Hermitian varieties in $${\mathbb{P}^{4}(\mathbb{F}_q)}$$

We study the functional codes of second order on a non-degenerate Hermitian variety as defined by G. Lachaud. We provide the best possible bounds for the number of points of quadratic sections of . We list the first five weights, describe the corresponding codewords and compute their number. The paper ends with two conjectures. The first is about minimum distance of the functional codes of order h on a non-singular Hermitian variety . The second is about distribution of the codewords of first five weights of the functional codes of second order on a non-singular Hermitian variety .      

$$ H^{p}_{w} - L^{p}_{w} $$ Boundedness of Marcinkiewicz Integral

The Marcinkiewicz integral is essentially a Littlewood-Paley g-function, which plays a very important role in harmonic analysis. In this paper we give weaker smoothness conditions assumed on Ω to imply the boundedness of the Marcinkiewicz integral operator μ_Ω, where w belongs to the Muckenhoupt weight class.

Maximal partial packings of $${Z_2^n}$$ with perfect codes

A maximal partial Hamming packing of is a family of mutually disjoint translates of Hamming codes of length n, such that any translate of any Hamming code of length n intersects at least one of the translates of Hamming codes in . The number of translates of Hamming codes in is the packing number, and a partial Hamming packing is strictly partial if the family does not constitute a partition of . A simple and useful condition describing when two translates of Hamming codes are disjoint or not disjoint is proved. This condition depends on the dual codes of the corresponding Hamming codes. Partly, by using this condition, it is shown that the packing number p, for any maximal strictly partial Hamming packing of , n = 2 ^m −1, satisfies . It is also proved that for any n equal to 2 ^m −1, , there exist maximal strictly partial Hamming packings of with packing numbers n−10,n−9,n−8,...,n−1. This implies that the upper bound is tight for any n = 2 ^m −1, . All packing numbers for maximal strictly partial Hamming packings of , n = 7 and 15, are found by a computer search. In the case n = 7 the packing number is 5, and in the case n = 15 the possible packing numbers are 5,6,7,...,13 and 14.
