Flag-Transitive 2-v,5,λ Designs Admitting a Two-Dimensional Projective Group
The focus of this study is to classify flag-transitive 2-designs. We have come to the conclusion that if D is a nontrivial 2-design having block size 5 and G is a two-dimensional projective special linear group which acts flag-transitively on D with q≢1 (mod 4), then D is a 2-(11, 5, 2) design, a 2-(11, 5, 12) design, a 2-q+1,5,2q−1 design with q≡3 (mod 4) or a 2-q+1,5,q−1/3 design with q=2f (where f>2 is an even).

Affine flag varieties and quantum symmetric pairs
The quantum groups of finite and affine type A admit geometric realizations in terms of partial flag varieties of finite and affine type A. Recently, the quantum group associated to partial flag varieties of finite type B/C is shown to be a coideal subalgebra of the quantum group of finite type A. In this paper the authors study the structures of Schur algebras and Lusztig algebras associated to (four variants of) partial flag varieties of affine type C. The authors show that the quantum groups arising from Lusztig algebras and Schur algebras via stabilization procedures are (idempotented) coideal subalgebras of quantum groups of affine \\mathfrak{sl} and \\mathfrak{gl} types, respectively. In this way, the authors provide geometric realizations of eight quantum symmetric pairs of affine types. The authors construct monomial and canonical bases of all these quantum (Schur, Lusztig, and coideal) algebras. For the idempotented coideal algebras of affine \\mathfrak{sl} type, the authors establish the positivity properties of the canonical basis with respect to multiplication, comultiplication and a bilinear pairing. In particular, the authors obtain a new and geometric construction of the idempotented quantum affine \\mathfrak{gl} and its canonical basis.

Victory Banner Over the Reichstag
In one of the most iconic images from World War II, a Russian
soldier raises a red flag atop the ruins of the German Reichstag on
April 30, 1945. Known as the Victory Banner, this piece of fabric
has come to symbolize Russian triumph, glory, and patriotism.
Facsimiles are used in public celebrations all over the country,
and an exact replica is the centerpiece in the annual Victory
Parade in Moscow's Red Square. The Victory Banner Over the
Reichstag examines how and why this symbol was created, the
changing media of its expression, and the contested evolution of
its message. From association with Stalinism and communism to its
acquisition of Russian nationalist meaning, Jeremy Hicks
demonstrates how this symbol was used to construct a collective
Russian memory of the war. He traces how the Soviets, and then
Vladimir Putin, have used this image and the banner itself to build
a remarkably powerful mythology of Russian greatness.
