Devoted to the Russian mathematician Albert Shiryaev on his seventieth birthday, this can be a choice of papers written via his former scholars, co-authors and co-workers. The booklet represents the cutting-edge of a quick maturing idea and may be an important resource for researchers during this zone. the range of subject matters and complete variety of the papers make the e-book beautiful for Ph.D. scholars and younger researchers.

Combinatorics and Algebraic Geometry have loved a fruitful interaction because the 19th century. Classical interactions comprise invariant concept, theta capabilities and enumerative geometry. the purpose of this quantity is to introduce fresh advancements in combinatorial algebraic geometry and to process algebraic geometry with a view in the direction of purposes, similar to tensor calculus and algebraic information.
Finite Geometry and Combinatorial Applications
The projective and polar geometries that come up from a vector area over a finite box are fairly worthwhile within the building of combinatorial gadgets, comparable to latin squares, designs, codes and graphs. This booklet presents an advent to those geometries and their many functions to different parts of combinatorics.

If α is an (n − 1 − i)-dimensional subspace of a polar space Γ of rank n (0 ≤ i ≤ n), then the set of all maximal subspaces through α defines a convex subspace of diameter i of the dual polar space S associated with Γ. Conversely, every convex subspace of S is obtained in this way. e. convex subspaces of diameter 2) are thick generalized quadrangles. Given a number of polar spaces, many others can be constructed. Let (Γi )i∈I be a family of polar spaces defined on the sets (Pi )i∈I and with (Ai )i∈I as a collection of subspaces.
Suppose that any common neighbour of a and c lies at distance i − 1 from x. 21, there exists a path of length 3 in Γ2 (πQ (x)) ∩ Q connecting a and c. This path is completely contained in Γi (x). Definitions. If γ = (y0 , . . , yk ) denotes a path of S, then we define b(γ) := y0 and e(γ) := yk . For every point x of S, let Ωx denote the set of all paths (y0 , . . , yk ) in S for which (S(x, yi ) \ S(x, yi−1 )) ∩ S(x, y0 ) = ∅ for every i ∈ {1, . . , k} such that k d(x, yi ) > d(x, yi−1 ). For each such path γ, we define i(γ) := i=0 3d(x,y0 )−d(x,yi ) .
Let x be a given point of Q. For every point y ∈ Γ2 (x), we define A(y) := Γ1 (x) ∩ Γ1 (y) and A(y) := Γ1 (x) \ A(y). If y and y are two collinear points of Γ2 (x), then A(y) ∩ A(y ) consists of the unique point of yy collinear with x. 21, the diameter of Γ2 (x) is at most 3. So, if y and y are two points of Γ2 (x), we have one of the following possibilities: • y = y . Then |A(y) ∩ A(y )| = 0. • y ∼ y . Then |A(y) ∩ A(y )| = 1. • y and y have distance 2 in Γ2 (x). Let y denote a point of Γ2 (x) collinear with y and y .
