For a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$, a Kakeya set $K$ is a subset of $\mathbb{F}_q^n$ that contains a line in every direction. This paper derives new upper bounds on the minimum size of Kakeya sets when $q$ is even.

The Galois number $G_n(q)$ is defined to be the number of subspaces of the $n$-dimensional vector space over the finite field $GF(q)$. When $q$ is prime, we prove that $G_n(q)$ is equal to the number $L_n(q)$ of $n$-dimensional mod $q$ lattices, which are defined to be lattices (that is, discrete additive subgroups of n-space) contained in the integer lattice ${\bf Z}^n$ and having the property that given any point $P$ in the lattice, all points of ${\bf Z}^n$ which are congruent to $P$ mod $q$ are also in the lattice. For each $n$, we prove that $L_n(q)$ is a multiplicative function of $q$.

AbstractIf A is an elementary abelian group, let (A) denote the group of units, modulo torsion, of the group ring Z[A]. We study (A) by means of the compositewhere C and B run over all cyclic subgroups and factor-groups, respectively. This map, γ, is known to be injective; its index, too, is known. In this paper, we determine the rank of γ tensored (over Z);with various fields. Our main result depends only on the functoriality of

A graph is worthy if no two vertices have the same neighborhood. In this paper, we characterize the automorphism groups of unworthy edge-transitive bipartite graphs, and present some worthy semisymmetric graphs arising from vector spaces over finite fields. We also determine the automorphism groups of these graphs.
