Unitals in Finite Desarguesian Planes
نویسنده
چکیده
We show that a suitable 2-dimensional linear system of Hermitian curves of PG(2, q2) defines a model for the Desarguesian plane PG(2, q). Using this model we give the following group-theoretic characterization of the classical unitals. A unital in PG(2, q2) is classical if and only if it is fixed by a linear collineation group of order 6(q + 1)2 that fixes no point or line in PG(2, q2).

Enumeration of Nonsingular Buekenhout Unitals
The only known enumeration of Buekenhout unitals occurs in the Desarguesian plane PG(2, q2). In this paper we develop general techniques for enumerating the nonsingular Buekenhout unitals embedded in any two-dimensional translation plane, and apply these techniques to obtain such an enumeration in the regular nearfield planes, the odd-order Hall planes, and the flag-transitive affine planes. We...

It is shown that a partial unital with more than q √ q+1−√q points in the Desarguesian plane of order q can be extended to a unital.
متن کاملAn alternative construction of B-M and B-T unitals in desarguesian planes
We present a new construction of non-classical unitals from a classical unital U in PG(2, q2). The resulting non-classical unitals are B-M unitals. The idea is to find a non-standard model Π of PG(2, q2) with the following three properties: (i) points of Π are those of PG(2, q2); (ii) lines of Π are certain lines and conics of PG(2, q2); (iii) the points in U form a non-classical B-M unital in ...

متن کاملNon-Existence of isomorphisms between certain unitals
We show that the Ree-Tits unitals are neither classical nor isomorphic to the polar unitals found in the Coulter-Matthews planes. To this end, we determine the full automorphism groups of the (finite) Ree unitals.
