The complete k - arcs of PG ( 2 , 27 ) and PG ( 2 , 29 )
نویسنده
چکیده
A full classification (up to equivalence) of all complete k-arcs in the Desarguesian projective planes of order 27 and 29 was obtained by computer. The resulting numbers of complete arcs are tabulated according to size of the arc and type of the automorphism group, and also according to the type of algebraic curve into which they can be embedded. For the arcs with the larger automorphism groups, explicit descriptions are given. The algorithm used for generating the arcs is an application of isomorphfree backtracking using canonical augmentation, an adaptation of an earlier algorithm by the authors. Part of the computer results can be generalized to other values of q: two families of arcs are presented (of size 12 and size 18) for which the symmetric group S4 is a group of automorphisms.

In PG(2, q) a point set K is sharply transitive if the collineation group preserving K has a subgroup acting on K as a sharply transitive permutation group. By a result of Korchmáros, sharply transitive hyperovals only exist for a few values of q, namely q = 2, 4 and 16. In general, sharply transitive complete arcs of even size in PG(2, q) with q even seem to be sporadic. In this paper, we cons...
متن کاملOn Sizes of Complete Caps in Projective Spaces PG(n, q) and Arcs in Planes PG(2, q)
More than thirty new upper bounds on the smallest size t2(2, q) of a complete arc in the plane PG(2, q) are obtained for 169 ≤ q ≤ 839. New upper bounds on the smallest size t2(n, q) of the complete cap in the space PG(n, q) are given for n = 3 and 25 ≤ q ≤ 97, q odd; n = 4 and q = 7, 8, 11, 13, 17; n = 5 and q = 5, 7, 8, 9; n = 6 and q = 4, 8. The bounds are obtained by computer search for new...
متن کاملConstructions of small complete arcs with prescribed symmetry
We use arcs found by Storme and van Maldeghem in their classification of primitive arcs in PG(2, q) as seeds for constructing small complete arcs in these planes. Our complete arcs are obtained by taking the union of such a “seed arc” with some orbits of a subgroup of its stabilizer. Using this approach we construct five different complete 15arcs fixed by Z3 in PG(2, 37), a complete 20-arc fixe...

متن کاملSinger 8-arcs of Mathon type in PG(2, 27)
In [3] De Clerck, De Winter and Maes counted the number of non-isomorphic Mathon maximal arcs of degree 8 in PG(2, 2), h 6= 7 and prime. In this article we will show that in PG(2, 2) a special class of Mathon maximal arcs of degree 8 arises which admits a Singer group (i.e. a sharply transitive group) on the 7 conics of these arcs. We will give a detailed description of these arcs, and then cou...
