The combinatorial theory of species developed by Joyal provides a foundation for enumerative combinatorics of objects constructed from finite sets. In this paper we develop an analogous theory for the enumerative combinatorics of objects constructed from vector spaces over finite fields. Examples of these objects include subspaces, flags of subspaces, direct sum decompositions, and linear maps or matrices of various types. The unifying concept is that of a "$q$-species", defined to be a functor from the category of finite dimensional vector spaces over a finite field to the category of finite sets.

In this paper, we study nonzero component graph [Formula: see text] of a finite-dimensional vector space [Formula: see text] over a finite field [Formula: see text]. We show that the graph is Hamiltonian and not Eulerian. We also characterize the maximal cliques in [Formula: see text] and show that there exists two classes of maximal cliques in [Formula: see text]. We also find the exact clique number of [Formula: see text] for some particular cases. Moreover, we provide some results on size, edge-connectivity and chromatic number of [Formula: see text].

We develop an analog of the exponential families of Wilf in which the label sets are finite dimensional vector spaces over a finite field rather than finite sets of positive integers. The essential features of exponential families are preserved, including the exponential formula relating the deck enumerator and the hand enumerator.

Abstract Let $G_1, \ldots , G_k$ be finite-dimensional vector spaces over a prime field $\mathbb {F}_p$ . A multilinear variety of codimension at most $d$ is a subset of $G_1 \times \cdots \times G_k$ defined as the zero set of $d$ forms, each of which is multilinear on some subset of the coordinates. A map $\phi$ defined on a multilinear variety $B$ is multilinear if for each coordinate $c$ and all choices of $x_i \in G_i$ , $i\not =c$ , the restriction map $y \mapsto \phi (x_1, \ldots , x_{c-1}, y, x_{c+1}, \ldots , x_k)$ is linear where defined. In this note, we show that a multilinear map defined on a multilinear variety of codimension at most $d$ coincides on a multilinear variety of codimension $O_{k}(d^{O_{k}(1)})$ with a multilinear map defined on the whole of $G_1\times \cdots \times G_k$ . Additionally, in the case of general finite fields, we deduce similar (but slightly weaker) results.

AbstractWe study Lp → Lr restriction estimates for algebraic varieties V in the case when restriction operators act on radial functions in the finite field setting. We show that if the varieties V lie in odd dimensional vector spaces over finite fields, then the conjectured restriction estimates are possible for all radial test functions. In addition, assuming that the varieties V are defined in even dimensional spaces and have few intersection points with the sphere of zero radius, we also obtain the conjectured exponents for all radial test functions.

International audience We show that if the cardinality of a subset of the $(2k-1)$-dimensional vector space over a finite field with $q$ elements is $\gg q^{2k-1-\frac{1}{ 2k}}$, then it contains a positive proportional of all $k$-simplexes up to congruence. Nous montrons que si la cardinalité d'un sous-ensemble de l'espace vectoriel à $(2k-1)$ dimensions sur un corps fini à $q$ éléments est $\gg q^{2k-1-\frac{1}{ 2k}}$, alors il contient une proportion non-nulle de tous les $k$-simplexes de congruence.

We show that a persistence module (for a totally ordered indexing set) consisting of finite-dimensional vector spaces is a direct sum of interval modules. The result extends to persistence modules with the descending chain condition on images and kernels.

Iosevich and Senger (2008) showed that if a subset of the $d$-dimensional vector space over a finite field is large enough, then it contains many $k$-tuples of mutually orthogonal vectors. In this note, we provide a graph theoretic proof of this result.

AbstractIn 1966, J. M. Howie characterized the self-maps of a set which can be written as a product (under composition) of idempotent self-maps of the same set. In 1967, J. A. Erdos considered the analogous question for linear maps of a finite dimensional vector space and in 1985, Reynolds and Sullivan solved the problem for linear maps of an infinite dimensional vector space. Using the concept of independence algebra, the authors gave a common generalization of the results of Howie and Erdos for the cases of finite sets and finite dimensional vector spaces. In the present paper we introduce strong independence algebras and provide a common generalization of the results of Howie and Reynolds and Sullivan for the cases of infinite sets and infinite dimensional vector spaces.

Products of idempotents are investigated in the endomorphism monoid of an algebra belonging to a class of algebras which includes finite sets and finite dimensional vector spaces as special cases. It is shown that every endomorphism which is not an automorphism is a product of idempotent endomorphisms. This provides a common generalisation of earlier results of Howie and Erdos for the cases when the algebra is a set or vector space respectively.

In this paper authors for the first time introduce the concept of Neutrosophic Quadruple (NQ) vector spaces and Neutrosophic Quadruple linear algebras and study their properties. Most of the properties of vector spaces are true in case of Neutrosophic Quadruple vector spaces. Two vital observations are, all quadruple vector spaces are of dimension four, be it defined over the field of reals R or the field of complex numbers C or the finite field of characteristic p, Z p ; p a prime. Secondly all of them are distinct and none of them satisfy the classical property of finite dimensional vector spaces. So this problem is proposed as a conjecture in the final section.
