A construction of one-dimensional affine flag-transitive linear spaces
AbstractThe finite flag-transitive linear spaces which have an insoluble automorphism group were given a precise description in [Francis Buekenhout, Anne Delandtsheer, Jean Doyen, Peter B. Kleidman, Martin W. Liebeck, Jan Saxl, Linear spaces with flag-transitive automorphism groups, Geom. Dedicata 36 (1) (1990) 89â94], and their classification has recently been completed (see [Martin W. Liebeck, The classification of finite linear spaces with flag-transitive automorphism groups of affine type, J. Combin. Theory Ser. A 84 (2) (1998) 196â235] and [Jan Saxl, On finite linear spaces with almost simple flag-transitive automorphism groups, J. Combin. Theory Ser. A 100 (2) (2002) 322â348]). However, the remaining case where the automorphism group is a subgroup of one-dimensional affine transformations has not been classified and bears a variety of known examples. Here we give a construction of new one-dimensional affine flag-transitive linear spaces via the AndrĂ©/BruckâBose construction applied to transitive line-spreads of projective space
IdentitĂ€t in ErzĂ€hlung und im ErzĂ€hlen: Versuch einer Bestimmung der Besonderheit des narrativen Diskurses fĂŒr die sprachliche Verfassung von ldentitĂ€t
Die Bedeutung des narrativen Diskurses fĂŒr die sprachliche Verfassung von IdentitĂ€t wird erörtert. Dabei werden zwei ArgumentationsstrĂ€nge entfaltet. Zum einen wird dem ErzĂ€hlen im Unterschied zu anderen DiskurstĂ€tigkeiten des alltĂ€glichen Sprechens eine privilegierte Rolle der Ordnungsstiftung zugeschrieben. Diese gesonderte Stellung wird damit begrĂŒndet, dass im ErzĂ€hlen Relationen zwischen einer temporalen, einer rĂ€umlichen und einer personalen Ordnung hergestellt werden, die in anderen DiskurstĂ€tigkeiten nicht vorhanden sind. In einer Art Gegenzug wird dann jedoch diese Sonderstellung des ErzĂ€hlens weitgehend relativiert und zurĂŒckgenommen, und zwar insofern, als den kontextuellen Bedingungen, unter denen erzĂ€hlt wird, eine weit wesentlichere Rolle in der Sinnstiftung zukommt. AbschlieĂend wird versucht, aus dem VerhĂ€ltnis der beiden ArgumentationsstrĂ€nge den Begriff der IdentitĂ€t erzĂ€hl- und diskurstheoretisch neu zu verorten
Spreading primitive groups of diagonal type do not exist
The synchronisation hierarchy of finite permutation groups consists of
classes of groups lying between 2-transitive groups and primitive groups. This
includes the class of spreading groups, which are defined in terms of sets and
multisets of permuted points, and which are known to be primitive of almost
simple, affine or diagonal type. In this paper, we prove that in fact no
spreading group of diagonal type exists. As part of our proof, we show that all
non-abelian finite simple groups, other than six sporadic groups, have a
transitive action in which a proper normal subgroup of a point stabiliser is
supplemented by all corresponding two-point stabilisers.Comment: 10 pages. Version 2 resolves the Monster group case of Theorem 1.3,
with the aid of a result drawn to our attention by Prof. Tim Burnes
Separating rank 3 graphs
We classify, up to some notoriously hard cases, the rank 3 graphs which fail
to meet either the Delsarte or the Hoffman bound. As a consequence, we resolve
the question of separation for the corresponding rank 3 primitive groups and
give new examples of synchronising, but not , groups of
affine type
Enabling RTK Positioning Under Jamming: Mitigation of Carrier-Phase Distortions Induced by Blind Spatial Filtering
ew GNSS applications demand resilience against radio interference and high position accuracy. Separately, these demands can be fulfilled by multi-antenna systems using spatial filtering and carrier-phase positioning algorithms like real-time kinematic (RTK), respectively. However, combining these approaches encounters a severe issue: The spatial filtering induces a phase offset into the measured carrier phase leading to a loss of position accuracy. This paper presents a new approach to compensate for the phase offset in a blind manner, (i.e., without knowing the antenna array radiation pattern or the direction of arrival of the signals). The proposed approach is experimentally validated in two jamming scenarios. One includes a jammer with increasing power and the other includes a moving jammer. The results demonstrate that the approach successfully compensates for the phase offset and, hence, allows for the combined use of RTK positioning and spatial filtering even under jamming
Langfrist-Prognose von Performance-Indizes: Vergleich einiger Verfahren
Langfrist-Prognosen sind typischerweise problematischer als Kurzfrist-Prognosen. Im Kapitalmarktkontext ist die Sachlage jedoch umgekehrt, da verlĂ€ssliche Kurzfrist-Prognosen durch Arbitrageure sofort zunichte gemacht wĂŒrden. Ex ante ist der Performance-Index am Prognosehorizont eine extrem rechtsschief verteilte Zufallsvariable. Prognosen, die auf dessen Modalwert abzielen, sind daher viel zu pessimistisch. Prognosen, die auf den Erwartungswert abzielen, sind dagegen zu optimistisch. Von den drei prominenten LagemaĂen ist nur der Median in der Lage, als Basis fĂŒr eine verlĂ€ssliche Prognose zu dienen. Es werden einige Praktiker-Verfahren untereinander und mit einem neuen Prognoseverfahren verglichen, welches auf der erwartungstreuen SchĂ€tzung des Medians beruht. Zur Illustration der Verfahren und der resultierenden Prognosen werden Daten des DAX bis 2022 verwendet. Es zeigt sich unter anderem, dass der erwartungstreue Median-SchĂ€tzer bessere Prognosen als das beste âPraktiker-Verfahrenâ liefert
Developing a Spoofer Error Envelope for Tracking GNSS Signals
Global navigation satellite systems (GNSSs) are the most significant service for global positioning and timing. The high relevance and wide spread of these systems contrast with the risk for interference or even manipulations of GNSS signals. One specific threat is GNSS spoofing. A spoofer counterfeits satellite signals to mislead the receiver to an erring position/time estimation. The technological progress enabling affordable and easy-to-use spoofer hardware further increases the relevance of this threat. To maintain the integrity of the position/time information, it is mandatory to be able to assess the errors induced by spoofing. The paper at hand derives a bound of the code tracking bias in relevant spoofing scenarios extending the well-known Multipath Error Envelope. These new bounds can be used as a tool to estimate the position/time error, especially but not exclusively for receivers that are collateral damage of a spoofing attack
Point regular groups of automorphisms of generalised quadrangles
We study the point regular groups of automorphisms of some of the known
generalised quadrangles. In particular we determine all point regular groups of
automorphisms of the thick classical generalised quadrangles. We also construct
point regular groups of automorphisms of the generalised quadrangle of order
obtained by Payne derivation from the classical symplectic
quadrangle . For with we obtain at least two
nonisomorphic groups when and at least three nonisomorphic groups
when or . Our groups include nonabelian 2-groups, groups of exponent 9
and nonspecial -groups. We also enumerate all point regular groups of
automorphisms of some small generalised quadrangles.Comment: some minor changes (including to title) after referee's comment
