On the simple connectedness of hyperplane complements in dual polar spaces

چکیده
Let ∆ be a dual polar space of rank n ≥ 4, H be a hyperplane of ∆ and Γ := ∆\H be the complement of H in ∆. We shall prove that, if all lines of ∆ have more than 3 points, then Γ is simply connected. Then we show how this theorem can be exploited to prove that certain families of hyperplanes of dual polar spaces, or all hyperplanes of certain dual polar spaces, arise from embeddings.

On the simple connectedness of hyperplane complements in dual polar spaces, II
Suppose ∆ is a dual polar space of rank n and H is a hyperplane of ∆. Cardinali, De Bruyn and Pasini have already shown that if n ≥ 4 and the line size is greater than or equal to four then the hyperplane complement ∆ −H is simply connected. This paper is a follow-up, where we investigate the remaining cases. We prove that the hyperplane complements are simply connected in all cases except thre...
متن کاملSimple connectedness of hyperplane complements in dual polar spaces
Suppose ∆ is a dual polar space of rank n and H is a hyperplane of ∆. Cardinali, De Bruyn and Pasini have already shown that if n ≥ 4 and the line size is greater than or equal to four then the hyperplane complement ∆ − H is simply connected. Shpectorov proved a similar result for n ≥ 3 and line size five and above. We will prove a similar result for n ≥ 5 and line size three and above. We also...
متن کاملAffinization of Segre products of partial linear spaces
Hyperplanes and hyperplane complements in the Segre product of partial linear spaces are investigated. The parallelism of such a complement is characterized in terms of the point-line incidence. Assumptions, under which the automorphisms of the complement are the restrictions of the automorphisms of the ambient space, are given. An affine covering for the Segre product of Veblenian gamma spaces...
متن کاملOn hyperbolic sets of maxes in dual polar spaces
Suppose ∆ is a fully embeddable thick dual polar space of rank n ≥ 3. It is known that a hyperplane H of ∆ is classical if all its nontrivial intersections with quads are classical. In order to conclude that a hyperplane H is classical, it is perhaps not necessary to require in advance that all these intersections are classical. In fact, in this paper we show that for dual polar spaces admittin...
متن کاملLocally singular hyperplanes in thick dual polar spaces of rank 4
We study (i-)locally singular hyperplanes in a thick dual polar space of rank n. If is not of type DQ(2n,K), then we will show that every locally singular hyperplane of is singular. We will describe a new type of hyperplane in DQ(8,K) and show that every locally singular hyperplane of DQ(8,K) is either singular, the extension of a hexagonal hyperplane in a hex or of the new type. © 2005 Elsevie...
