    Let Gk(V) be the k-Grassmannian of a vector space V with dimV=n. Given a hyperplane H of Gk(V), we define in [I. Cardinali, L. Giuzzi, A. Pasini, A geometric approach to alternating k-linear forms, J. Algebraic Combin. doi: 10.1007/s10801-016-0730-6] a point-line subgeometry of PG(V) called the geometry of poles of H. In the present paper, exploiting the classification of alternating trilinear forms in low dimension, we characterize the possible geometries of poles arising for k=3 and n≤7 and propose some new constructions. We also extend a result of [J.Draisma, R. Shaw, Singular lines of trilinear forms, Linear Algebra Appl. doi: 10.1016/j.laa.2010.03.040] regarding the existence of line spreads of PG(5,K) arising from hyperplanes of G3(V)

    In this paper we determine the minimum distance of orthogonal line-Grassmann codes for q even. The case q odd was solved in "I. Cardinali, L. Giuzzi, K. Kaipa, A. Pasini, Line Polar Grassmann Codes of Orthogonal Type, J. Pure Applied Algebra (doi:10.1016/j.jpaa.2015.10.007 )" We also show that for q even all minimum weight codewords are equivalent and that symplectic line-Grassmann codes are proper subcodes of codimension 2n of the orthogonal ones

    On orthogonal polar spaces

    Let P\cal P be a non-degenerate polar space. In [I. Cardinali, L. Giuzzi, A. Pasini, "The generating rank of a polar grassmannian", Adv. Geom. 21:4 (2021), 515-539 doi:10.1515/advgeom-2021-0022 (arXiv:1906.10560)] we introduced an intrinsic parameter of P\cal P, called the anisotropic gap, defined as the least upper bound of the lengths of the well-ordered chains of subspaces of P\cal P containing a frame; when P\cal P is orthogonal, we also defined two other parameters of P\cal P, called the elliptic and parabolic gap, related to the universal embedding of P\cal P. In this paper, assuming P\cal P is an orthogonal polar space, we prove that the elliptic and parabolic gaps can be described as intrinsic invariants of P\cal P without making recourse to the embedding.Comment: 20 pages/revised versio

    Line polar Grassmann codes of orthogonal type

    No full text
    Polar Grassmann codes of orthogonal type have been introduced in I. Cardinali and L. Giuzzi, \emph{Codes and caps from orthogonal Grassmannians}, {Finite Fields Appl.} {\bf 24} (2013), 148-169. They are subcodes of the Grassmann code arising from the projective system defined by the Pl\"ucker embedding of a polar Grassmannian of orthogonal type. In the present paper we fully determine the minimum distance of line polar Grassmann Codes of orthogonal type for q odd

    Introduction: The aim of the study was to investigate the influence of training status on cardiovascular function in young male recreational and competitive rowers. Methods: Ejection duration in percentage to the heart rate period (ED%), subendocardial viability ratio (SEVR), augmentation index at 75 bpm (AIx75) and carotid to femoral pulse wave velocity (cf-PWV) of competitive rowers (CR) (age 17.6 ± 4.1 years), recreational rowers (RR) (age 16.7 ± 2.70 years) and athletes practicing other recreational sports (ORS) (age 15.3 ± 1.4 years) were assessed. Results: ED% was lower in CR compared to ORS (31.9 ± 3.9% vs. 38.4 ± 4.8%; p = 0.026) and cf-PWV was higher in CR compared to ORS (5.5 ± 1.0 m/s vs. 4.7 ± 0.5 m/s; p = 0.032). SEVR was higher in CR compared to RR and ORS (165.8 ± 33.7% vs. 127.4 ± 30.4% and 128.3 ± 27.8%; p = 0.022) and AIx75 was lower in CR compared to RR and ORS (−15.7 ± 8.6% vs. 1.2 ± 9.9% and 1.5 ± 9.1; p = 0.001). Discussion: Healthy, young competitive male rowers reported higher myocardial performance and better cardiovascular health than recreational athletes. Interpretations of cf-PWV in competitive rowers should be performed alongside other cardiovascular indicators

    Il contributo ha per oggetto la recensione al volume dedicato da Carlo Santini ai frammenti di L. Cassio Emina. Nel mettere in luce i vari pregi dell'ampio ed articolato lavoro di Santini, vengono tuttavia avanzate riserve circa l'estensione dell'opera di Emina prospettata da Santini, mentre rispetto alla traduzione, di cui si rileva la sostanziale puntualità, ed al commento, di cui si mostra la ricchezza e l'esaustività, vengono evidenziate talune lievi inesattezze ed alcuni passaggi, in cui l'argomentazione svolta desta qualche perplessità

    Some results on caps and codes related to orthogonal Grassmannians --- a preview

    No full text
    In this note we offer a short summary of some recent results, to be contained in a forthcoming paper \cite{CG}, on projective caps and linear error correcting codes arising from the Grassmann embedding εkgr\varepsilon_k^{gr} of an orthogonal Grassmannian Δk.\Delta_k. More precisely, we consider the codes arising from the projective system determined by εkgr(Δk)\varepsilon_k^{gr}(\Delta_k) and determine some of their parameters. We also investigate special sets of points of Δk\Delta_k which are met by any line of Δk\Delta_k in at most 22 points proving that their image under the Grassmann embedding is a projective cap

    Implementing line-Hermitian Grassmann codes

    No full text
    In [6] we introduced line Hermitian Grassmann codes and determined their parameters. The aim of this paper is to present (in the spirit of [4]) an algorithm for the point enumerator of a line Hermitian Grassmannian which can be usefully applied to get efficient encoders, decoders and error correction algorithms for the aforementioned codes

    Codes and caps from orthogonal Grassmannians

    No full text
    In this paper we investigate linear error correcting codes and projective caps related to the Grassmann embedding of an orthogonal Grassmannian. In particular, we determine some of the parameters of the codes arising from the projective system determined by such an embedding. We also study special sets of points of which are met by any line of k in subsets of cardinality at most 2 and we show that their image under the Grassmann embedding is a projective cap
