Opposite Relation on Dual Polar Spaces and Half-spin Grassmann Spaces

چکیده
We characterize the collinearity (adjacency) relation of dual polar spaces and half-spin Grassmann spaces in terms of the relation to be opposite in the corresponding collinearity graphs. Our characterization is closely related with results given [1] and [2].

Characterization of apartments in polar Grassmannians
Buildings of types Cn and Dn are defined by rank n polar spaces. The associated building Grassmannians are polar and half-spin Grassmannians. Apartments in dual polar spaces and half-spin Grassmannians were characterized in [4]. We characterize apartments in all polar Grassmannians consisting of non-maximal singular subspaces. This characterization is a partial case of more general results conc...
متن کاملOn a Class of Hyperplanes of the Symplectic and Hermitian Dual Polar Spaces
Let ∆ be a symplectic dual polar space DW (2n−1, K) or a Hermitian dual polar space DH(2n − 1, K, θ), n ≥ 2. We define a class of hyperplanes of ∆ arising from its Grassmann-embedding and discuss several properties of these hyperplanes. The construction of these hyperplanes allows us to prove that there exists an ovoid of the Hermitian dual polar space DH(2n−1, K, θ) arising from its Grassmann-...
متن کاملOn isometric full embeddings of symplectic dual polar spaces into Hermitian dual polar spaces
Let n ≥ 2, let K,K′ be fields such that K′ is a quadratic Galoisextension of K and let θ denote the unique nontrivial element in Gal(K′/K). Suppose the symplectic dual polar space DW (2n− 1,K) is fully and isometrically embedded into the Hermitian dual polar space DH(2n − 1,K′, θ). We prove that the projective embedding of DW (2n − 1,K) induced by the Grassmann-embedding of DH(2n − 1,K′, θ) is ...
متن کاملTransformations of Grassmann spaces
This is a current version of a part of the book “Transformations of Grassmann spaces”. We study transformations of Grassmann spaces preserving certain geometrical constructions (related with buildings). The next part will be devoted to Grassmann spaces associated with polar spaces.
متن کاملGenerating Symplectic and Hermitian Dual Polar Spaces over Arbitrary Fields Nonisomorphic to F2
Cooperstein [6], [7] proved that every finite symplectic dual polar space DW (2n− 1, q), q 6= 2, can be generated by ( 2n n ) − ( 2n n−2 ) points and that every finite Hermitian dual polar space DH(2n − 1, q2), q 6= 2, can be generated by (2n n ) points. In the present paper, we show that these conclusions remain valid for symplectic and Hermitian dual polar spaces over infinite fields. A conse...
