Mathematics of 3D Printing
Alexander Hulpke
Colorado State University
3D printing is a new manufacturing technology that produces an object from scratch without having to remove undesired surrounding material. Since it specifies objects by their coordinates it is eminently suitable for constructing mathematical models. I will describe scope and limitations of the technology for this purpose and give ample examples.
A new family of Cameron--Liebler line classes
Morgan Rodgers
Los Medanos College
Cameron-Liebler line classes are sets of lines in PG(3, q) having many nice combinatorial properties; they were originally studied as generalizations of symmetric tactical decompositions of PG(3, q), as well as of orbits of subgroups of PΓL(4,q) having equally many orbits on points and lines. Under the Klein correspondence, Cameron?Liebler line classes of PG(3, q) correspond to tight sets in the hyperbolic quadric Q+(5, q).
Many new examples of Cameron?Liebler line classes found by computer search were described in recent work, here we detail results proving the existence of a new infinite family of examples in PG(3, q) having parameter \fracq2−12 for all q ≡ 5 or 9\mod12. When q ≡ 9\mod12, these examples occur as line classes in symmetric tactical decompositions of PG(3, q) having four classes on points and lines. In this situation we have q = 32e positive integer e. The nature of these decompositions allows us to also prove the existence of sets of type (\frac12(32e−3e),\frac12(32e+3e))
