More translation planes and semifields from Dembowski–Ostrom polynomials
In this article we use pairs of Dembowski–Ostrom polynomials with special properties (see (P1)–(P3) in the introduction below) to construct...

Nonfactorizable nonsingular hypercubes
We investigate nonsingular hypercubes, and prove several results, stating a condition for a hypercube to be the product of hypercubes of smaller...

Finite semifields and nonsingular tensors
In this article, we give an overview of the classification results in the theory of finite semifields (note that this is not intended as a survey of...

Planes in which every quadrangle lies on a unique Baer subplane
Desarguesian projective planes of square order are characterized by the property that every quadrangle lies on a unique Baer subplane.

The existence of maximal (q 2, 2)-arcs in projective Hjelmslev planes over chain rings of length 2 and odd prime characteristic
We prove that ( q 2 , 2)-arcs exist in the projective Hjelmslev plane PHG(2, R ) over a chain ring R of length 2, order | R | = q 2 and prime...

Commutative semifields from projection map**s
We describe a general projection method to construct commutative semifields in odd characteristic. One application yields a family of commutative...

Polarities and unitals in the Coulter–Matthews planes
For a class of finite shift planes introduced by Coulter and Matthews, we give a set of representatives for the isomorphism types, determine all...

Further translation planes of order 192 admitting SL(2,5), obtained by nest replacement
We construct three translation planes of order 19 2 admitting SL(2,5), obtained by replacement of 24-nests of reguli in PG(3,19).

A nearfield-free definition of regular Hughes planes and some embeddings of PG(3,q) in Hughes planes of order q 4
We give a nearfield-free definition of some finite and infinite incidence systems by means of half-points and half-lines and show that they are...

On the Hughes–Kleinfeld and Knuth’s semifields two-dimensional over a weak nucleus
In 1960 Hughes and Kleinfeld (Am J Math 82:389–392, 1960) constructed a finite semifield which is two-dimensional over a weak nucleus, given an...

A translation plane of order 192 admitting SL(2,5), obtained by 12-nest replacement
The problem of determining two-dimensional translation planes admitting SL(2,5) in the translation complement has been intensively studied. Most...

Projective aspects of the AES inversion
We consider the nonlinear function used in the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). This nonlinear function is essentially inversion in the finite...

Sublines of Prime Order Contained in the Set of Internal Points of a Conic
In [2] it was shown that if q ≥ 4 n 2 −8 n +2 then there are no subplanes of order q contained in the set of internal points of a conic in PG(2, q ...

Eigenvalues of Finite Projective Planes with an Abelian Cartesian Group
Let M be an incidence matrix for a projective plane of order n . The eigenvalues of M are calculated in the Desarguesian case and a standard form for M ...

Planar Oval Sets in Desarguesian Planes of Even Order
A planar oval set in PG (2, q ), q even, is a set of q 2 ovals in PG (2, q ) with common nucleus which intersect pairwise in one point. We classify...

On a Class of Symmetric Balanced Generalized Weighing Matrices
Let q be a prime power and m a positive integer. A construction method is given to “multiply” the parametrs of an ω-circulant BGW(v=1+q+q 2 +·+ q ...
