A geometric proof of the upper bound on the size of partial spreads in H(4n+1, q2)
نویسنده
چکیده
We give a geometric proof of the upper bound of q2n+1 +1 on the size of partial spreads in the polar space H(4n+1, q2). This bound is tight and has already been proved in an algebraic way. Our alternative proof also yields a characterization of the partial spreads of maximum size in H(4n+ 1, q2).

On maximal partial spreads of H(2n+1, q2)
A lower bound for the size of a maximal partial spread of H(2n+1, q) is given. For H(2n + 1, q) in general, and for H(5, q) in particular, new upper bounds for this size are also obtained. In [1], maximal partial spreads of H(3, q) and H(5, q) have been constructed from spreads of W3(q) and W5(q) respectively; the construction for H(5, q) will be generalized to H(4n+ 1, q), n ≥ 1, thus yielding...
متن کاملMaximal Partial Spreads of Polar Spaces
Some constructions of maximal partial spreads of finite classical polar spaces are provided. In particular we show that, for n > 1, H(4n−1, q2) has a maximal partial spread of size q2n + 1, H(4n + 1, q2) has a maximal partial spread of size q2n+1 + 1 and, for n > 2, Q+(4n − 1, q), Q(4n − 2, q), W(4n − 1, q), q even, W(4n − 3, q), q even, have a maximal partial spread of size qn + 1.
متن کاملConstant Rank-Distance Sets of Hermitian Matrices and Partial Spreads in Hermitian Polar Spaces
In this paper we investigate partial spreads of H(2n− 1, q2) through the related notion of partial spread sets of hermitian matrices, and the more general notion of constant rank-distance sets. We prove a tight upper bound on the maximum size of a linear constant rank-distance set of hermitian matrices over finite fields, and as a consequence prove the maximality of extensions of symplectic sem...
متن کاملThe maximum size of a partial spread in H(5, q2) is q3+1
In this paper, we show that the largest maximal partial spreads of the hermitian variety H(5, q2) consist of q3 + 1 generators. Previously, it was only known that q4 is an upper bound for the size of these partial spreads. We also show for q 7 that every maximal partial spread of H(5, q2) contains at least 2q + 3 planes. Previously, only the lower bound q + 1 was known. © 2006 Elsevier Inc. All...
متن کاملPartial Ovoids and Spreads in Generalized Quadrangles, and Related Combinatorial Structures
In this paper we overview what is known about partial ovoids and spreads of finite (classical) generalized quadrangles. In the first, respectively the second, part of the paper we will be mostly concerned with small, respectively large, maximal partial ovoids and spreads. Also connections with other interesting objects in finite geometry will be explained. Among the new results are new bounds o...
