Complete arcs on the parabolic quadric Q(4, q)
نویسندگان
چکیده
Using the representation T2(O) of Q(4, q) and algebraic methods, we prove that complete (q2 − 1)-arcs of Q(4, q) do not exist when q = ph, p odd prime and h > 1. As a by-product we prove an embeddability theorem for the direction problem in AG(3, q). © 2007 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

On large maximal partial ovoids of the parabolic quadric Q(4, q)
We use the representation T2(O) for Q(4, q) to show that maximal partial ovoids of Q(4, q) of size q − 1, q = p, h > 1 do not exist. Although this was known before, we give a slightly alternative proof, also resulting in more combinatorial information of the known examples for q prime. keywords: maximal partial ovoid, generalized quadrangle, parabolic quadric This paper is based on joint work w...
متن کاملOn Ovoids of Parabolic Quadrics
It is known that every ovoid of the parabolic quadric Q(4,q), q = ph, p prime, intersects every three-dimensional elliptic quadric in 1 mod p points. We present a new approach which gives us a second proof of this result and, in the case when p = 2, allows us to prove that every ovoid of Q(4,q) either intersects all the three-dimensional elliptic quadrics in 1 mod 4 points or intersects all the...
متن کاملThe size of minimal blocking sets of Q(4, q)
Let Q(2n+2, q) denote the non-singular parabolic quadric in the projective geometry PG(2n+2, q). We describe the implementation in GAP of an algorithm to determine the minimal number of points of a minimal blocking set of Q(4, q), for q = 5, 7
متن کاملA family of m-ovoids of parabolic quadrics
We construct a family of (q−1) 2 -ovoids of Q(4, q), the parabolic quadric of PG(4, q), for q ≡ 3 (mod 4). The existence of (q−1) 2 -ovoids of Q(4, q) was only known for q = 3, 7, or 11. Our construction provides the first infinite family of (q−1) 2 -ovoids of Q(4, q). Along the way, we also give a construction of (q+1) 2 -ovoids in Q(4, q) for q ≡ 1 (mod 4).
متن کاملThe known maximal partial ovoids of size q 2 − 1 of Q ( 4 , q ) ∗
We present a description of maximal partial ovoids of size q2−1 of the parabolic quadric Q(4, q) as sharply transitive subsets of SL(2, q) and show their connection with spread sets. This representation leads to an elegant explicit description of all known examples. We also give an alternative representation of these examples which is related to root systems.
