Finite Fourier Series and Ovals in PG(2, 2)
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose the use of finite Fourier series as an alternative means of representing ovals in projective planes of even order. As an example to illustrate the method’s potential, we show that the set {w +w +w : 0 ≤ j ≤ 2} ⊂ GF(2) forms an oval if w is a primitive (2 +1) root of unity in GF(2) and GF(2) is viewed as an affine plane over GF(2). For the verification, we only need some elementary “trigonometric identities” and a basic irreducibility lemma that is of independent interest. Finally, we show that our example is the Payne oval when h is odd, and the Adelaide oval when h is even. AMS Classification: 51E20 , 05B25

Ovals in Desarguesian planes
This paper surveys the known ovals in Desarguesian of even order, making use of the connection between ovals and hyperovals. First the known hyperovals are and the inequivalent m of small order arc found. The ovals contained in each of the known are determined and presented in a uniform way. Computer for new hyperovals reported. 1. OVALS AND HYPEROVALS Let PG(2, q) be the 'DC," "<"""'0" -:)"t, ...
متن کاملIsomorphisms Between Subiaco q–Clan Geometries
For q = 2e, e ≥ 4, the Subiaco construction introduced in [2] provides one q–clan, one flock, and for e 6≡ 2 (mod 4), one oval in PG(2, q). When e ≡ 2 (mod 4), there are two inequivalent ovals. The associated generalised quadrangle of order (q, q) has a complete automorphism group G of order 2e(q − 1)q. For each Subiaco oval O there is a group of collineations of PG(2, q) induced by a subgroup ...
متن کاملGroup–theoretic characterizations of classical ovoids
An ovoid of PG(3, q), q > 2, is a set of q + 1 points of PG(3, q), no three of which are collinear. The only known ovoids of PG(3, q) are the elliptic quadrics, which exist for all q, and the Suzuki-Tits ovoids, which exist for q = 2, e ≥ 3 odd, [10]. It is well known that for odd q, the only ovoids are the elliptic quadrics. For even q, the ovoids have been classified only for q up to and incl...
متن کاملCorrigendum to the paper "Ovoidal packings of PG(3, q) for even q"
We show that any set of n pairwise disjoint ovals in a finite projective plane of even order has a unique common tangent. As a consequence, any set of q+1 pairwise disjoint ovoids in PG(3, q), q even, has exactly q2+1 common tangent lines, constituting a regular spread. Also, if q−1 ovoids in PG(3, q) intersect pairwise exactly in two given points x ̸= y and share two tangent planes πx, πy at th...
