Graded structures and differential operators on nearly holomorphic and quasimodular forms on classical groups

We wish to use graded structures [KrVu87], [Vu01] on dffierential operators and quasimodular forms on classical groups and show that these structures provide a tool to construct p-adic measures and p-adic L-functions on the corresponding non-archimedean weight spaces. An approach to constructions of automorphic L-functions on uni-tary groups and their p-adic avatars is presented. For an algebraic group G over a number eld K these L functions are certain Euler products L(s, $\pi$, r, $\chi$). In particular, our constructions cover the L-functions in [Shi00] via the doubling method of Piatetski-Shapiro and Rallis. A p-adic analogue of L(s, $\pi$, r, $\chi$) is a p-adic analytic function L p (s, $\pi$, r, $\chi$) of p-adic arguments s $\in$ Z p , $\chi$ mod p rPresented in a talk for the INTERNATIONAL SCIENTIFIC CONFERENCE "GRADED STRUCTURES IN ALGEBRA AND THEIR APPLICATIONS" dedicated to the memory of Prof. Marc Krasner on Friday, September 23, 2016, International University Centre (IUC), Dubrovnik, Croatia

On known constructions of APN and AB functions and their relation to each other

This work is dedicated to APN and AB functions which are optimal against differential and linear cryptanlysis when used as Sboxes in block ciphers. They also have numerous applications in other branches of mathematics and information theory such as coding theory, sequence design, combinatorics, algebra and projective geometry. In this paper we give an overview of known constructions of APN and AB functions, in particular, those leading to infinite classes of these functions. Among them, the bivariate construction method, the idea first introduced in 2011 by the third author of the present paper, turned out to be one of the most fruitful. It has been known since 2011 that one of the families derived from the bivariate construction contains the infinite families derived by Dillon’s hexanomial method. Whether the former family is larger than the ones it contains has stayed an open problem which we solve in this paper. Further we consider the general bivariate construction from 2013 by the third author and study its relation to the recently found infinite families of bivariate APN functions
