چکیده
In [4], a characterization theorem for Veronesean varieties in PG(N,K), with K a skewfield, is proved. This result extends the theorem for the finite case proved in [6]. In this paper, we prove analogous results for Hermitian varieties, extending the results obtained in the finite case in [1] in a non-trivial way.

Quadric Veronesean Caps
In [2], a characterization theorem for Veronesean caps in PG(N,K), with K a skewfield, is provided. This result extends the theorem for the finite case proved in [7]. Although the statement of this theorem is correct, the proof given in [2] is incomplete, as some lemmas from [7] are proved using counting arguments and hence require a different approach in the infinite case. In this paper we use...
متن کاملCaps on Hermitian varieties and maximal curves
A lower bound for the size of a complete cap of the polar space H(n, q2) associated to the non-degenerate Hermitian variety Un is given; this turns out to be sharp for even q when n = 3. Also, a family of caps of H(n, q2) is constructed from Fq2-maximal curves. Such caps are complete for q even, but not necessarily for q odd.
متن کاملAmbient Spaces of Dimensional Dual Arcs
A d-dimensional dual arc in PG(n, q) is a higher dimensional analogue of a dual arc in a projective plane. For every prime power q other than 2, the existence of a d-dimensional dual arc (d ≥ 2) in PG(n, q) of a certain size implies n ≤ d(d + 3)/2 (Theorem 1). This is best possible, because of the recent construction of d-dimensional dual arcs in PG(d(d + 3)/2, q) of size ∑d−1 i=0 qi , using th...
متن کاملSome p-ranks Related to Hermitian Varieties
We determine the p-rank of the incidence matrix of hyperplanes of PG(n, p) and points of a nondegenerate Hermitian variety. As a corollary, we obtain new bounds for the size of caps and the existence of ovoids in finite unitary spaces. This paper is a companion to [2], in which Blokhuis and this author derive the analogous p-ranks for quadrics.
متن کاملSome Characterizations of Finite Hermitian Veroneseans
We characterize the finite Veronesean Hn ⊆ PG(n(n + 2), q) of all Hermitian varieties of PG(n, q2) as the unique representation of PG(n, q2) in PG(d, q), d≥n(n+2), where points and lines of PG(n, q2) are represented by points and ovoids of solids, respectively, of PG(d, q), with the only condition that the point set of PG(d, q) corresponding to the point set of PG(n, q2) generates PG(d, q).
