Main lecturers

  • Aida Abiad (University of Maastricht, The Netherlands), who lectured on Eigenvalue techniques and their applications to graph theory
  • Nicola Durante (Universita degli Studi di Napoli Federico II, Italy), who lectured on Geometry of sesquilinear forms
  • Francesco Pavese (Politecnico di Bari, Italy), who lectured on Groups of finite projective spaces and their geometries
  • Geertrui Van de Voorde (University of Canterbury, Christchurch, New Zealand), who lectured on Linear Sets

Topics

  • Substructures of finite projective spaces, a.o. spreads and (hyper)ovals, constructions from group actions.
  • Blocking sets and linear sets, semifields,  and MRD codes.
  • Cameron-Liebler line classes.
  • Subspace codes.
  • Eigenvalue techniques and their applications to graph theory.

There were be 4 hours of lecture and 2 complementary sessions of exercise given by each of the main speakers, and 17 contributed talks by participants. The corrected version of the lecture notes will be available at this website by the end of August 2019.
