$k$-Diophantine $m$-tuples in Finite Fields

In this paper, we define a $k$-Diophantine $m$-tuple to be a set of $m$ positive integers such that the product of any $k$ distinct positive integers is one less than a perfect square. We study these sets in finite fields $\mathbb{F}_p$ for odd prime $p$ and guarantee the existence of a $k$-Diophantine m-tuple provided $p$ is larger than some explicit lower bound. We also give a formula for the number of 3-Diophantine triples in $\mathbb{F}_p$ as well as an asymptotic formula for the number of $k$-Diophantine $k$-tuples.

Filtering cohomology of ordinary and Lagrangian Grassmannians

This paper studies, for a positive integer $m$, the subalgebra of the cohomology ring of the complex Grassmannians generated by the elements of degree at most $m$. We build in two ways upon a conjecture for the Hilbert series of this subalgebra due to Reiner and Tudose. The first reinterprets it in terms of the operation of $k$-conjugation, suggesting two conjectural bases for the subalgebras that would imply their conjecture. The second introduces an analogous conjecture for the cohomology of Lagrangian Grassmannians.
