Thema einer Diplomarbeit in Mathematik. Ich würde das Thema der Arbeit mit "Blocking sets in quadrics" übersetzen, aber auch hier das Problem der Präposition. Ich finde sowohl "Blocking sets in ...", aber häufiger "Blocking sets of quadrics". Besteht ein Unterschied? Vielen Dank (an alle Mathematiker unter uns).

Blocking sets in ...
I'm with phil that it doesn't really matter.
(Although: In doesn't mean "in relation to" here as the quadric is a line/surface/etc and the blocking set is a set of points within that line/surface/etc, so it really is "in")
I think there is a slight difference, but I'm having trouble framing it in words, and in any case I don't think a reader would even notice. Something like, "of" is suitable if the blocking sets are being considered as properties of the quadric: e.g. if you are talking about how to calculate all the blocking sets in/of a particular quadric. Since "in" is also fine here, just stick with it.
(NB: Although there are ghits for "blocking sets of quadrics", most of them are referring to the same paper, written by a German author)
