Some Blocking Semiovals which Admit a Homology Group
نویسنده
چکیده
The study of blocking semiovals in finite projective planes was motivated by Batten [1] in connection with cryptography. Dover in [4] studied blocking semiovals in a finite projective plane of order q which meet some line in q − 1 points. In this note, some blocking semiovals in PG(2, q) are considered which admit a homology group, and three new families of blocking semiovals are constructed. Any blocking semioval in the first or the third family meets no line in q − 1 points.

Some new results on small blocking semiovals
A blocking semioval S in a projective plane of order q is a set of points such that every line meets S in at least one point (the blocking property), and every point of S lies on a unique tangent line (the semioval property). The set of points on the sides of a triangle, excluding the vertices, is a blocking semioval in any projective plane of order q > 2, and has size 3q − 3. The size of a blo...
متن کاملBlocking Semiovals of Type (1, m+1, n+1)
We consider the existence of blocking semiovals in nite projective planes which have intersection sizes 1; m + 1 or n + 1 with the lines of the plane, for 1 m < n. For those prime powers q 1024, in almost all cases, we are able to show that, apart from a trivial example, no such blocking semioval exists in a projective plane of order q. We are able to prove also, for general q, that if q 2 + q ...

متن کاملA survey on semiovals
A semioval in a finite projective plane is a non-empty pointset S with the property that for every point in S there exists a unique line tP such that S ∩ tP = {P}. This line is called the tangent to S at P . Semiovals arise in several parts of finite geometries: as absolute points of a polarity (ovals, unitals), as special minimal blocking sets (vertexless triangle), in connection with cryptogr...
متن کاملTwisted quandle homology theory and cocycle knot invariants
The quandle homology theory is generalized to the case when the coefficient groups admit the structure of Alexander quandles, by including an action of the infinite cyclic group in the boundary operator. Theories of Alexander extensions of quandles in relation to low dimensional cocycles are developed in parallel to group extension theories for group cocycles. Explicit formulas for cocycles cor...
