Maximal curves of genus 5 over finite fields
A maximal curve over a finite field $\mathbb F_q$ is a curve whose number of points reaches the upper Hasse-Weil-Serre bound. We define the discriminant of $\mathbb F_q$ as $d(\mathbb F_q):= \lfloor2\sqrt{q}\rfloor^2-4q$, which arises as the discriminant of the characteristic polynomial of the Frobenius for a maximal elliptic curve defined over $\mathbb F_q$. In this article we investigate the existence of a maximal curve of genus $5$ defined over a finite field $\mathbb F_q$ of discriminant $-…

On Intersection and Co-maximal Hypergraph of $\mathbb{Z}_n$
The aim of this paper is to study the intersection hypergraph $\tildeΓ_\mathcal{H}(\mathbb{Z}_n)$ and co-maximal hypergraph $Co_\mathcal{H}(\mathbb{Z}_n)$ on the subgroups of $\mathbb{Z}_n$. We prove that the intersection and co-maximal hypergraph of a finite abelian group are isomorphic. Hence, we focus on $\tildeΓ_\mathcal{H}(\mathbb{Z}_n)$ and examine some of the structural properties, viz., diameter, girth and chromatic number of $\tildeΓ_\mathcal{H}(\mathbb{Z}_n)$. Also, we provide char…

Improved Constructions and Lower Bounds for Maximally Recoverable Grid Codes
In this paper, we continue the study of Maximally Recoverable (MR) Grid Codes initiated by Gopalan et al. [SODA 2017]. More precisely, we study codes over an $m \times n$ grid topology with one parity check per row and column of the grid along with $h \ge 1$ global parity checks. Previous works have largely focused on the setting in which $m = n$, where explicit constructions require field size which is exponential in $n$. Motivated by practical applications, we consider the regime in which $m,…

"Jesus and Kathia are not sure what to do now, or where they will sleep if their vehicle is towed. The options for family shelter are limited until her child is born, she said, and she does not want to leave her dog, who also lives in her RV, behind."

RV dwellers say S.F. homeless outreach worker is selling parking permits for hundreds in cash
The city is investigating allegations into a man dressed as an outreach worker. In text exchanges, an RV dweller begs for his money back.

Excellent news. Greatly reduces the risk of displacement while still upzoning the west side.
