Switching of generalized quadrangles of order s and applications
Let & = (P, £, I) be a generalized quadrangle of order 5, s φ 1, having a flag (x, L) with χ and L regular. Then a generalized quadrangle SP = (Ρ',Β',Ι') of order s can be constructed. We say that &" is obtained by switching from & with respect to (je, L). Examples are given where ¥ £ &'\ e.g., starting from a T2(O) of Tits, with O an oval of PG(2, q), q even, with nucleus «, the GQ T2((O {*}) ...
متن کاملCharacterizations of Generalized Quadrangles by Generalized Homologies
Let S= (P, B, I) be a generalized quadrangle of order (s, t). For X, y E P, X+ y. let X(x, y) be the group of all collineations of S fixing x and y linewise. If ZE (4 YJL> then the set of all points incident with the line xz (resp. y;) is denoted by z(resp. 3. The generalized quadrangle S = (P, B, I) is said to be (x, y)-transitive, x+ y, if X(x, y) is transitive on each set Z{x, z} and jZ’-{ y...
متن کاملClassification of skew translation generalized quadrangles, I
Generalized n-gons were introduced by Tits in a famous work on triality [20] of 1959, in order to propose an axiomatic and combinatorial treatment for semisimple algebraic groups (including Chevalley groups and groups of Lie type) of relative rank 2. They are the central rank 2 incidence geometries, and the atoms of the more general “Tits-buildings.” If the number of elements of a generalized n...
متن کاملOn ovoids of O(5, q)
This article is about ovoids of the generalised quadrangle O(5, q) and, equivalently, spreads of the generalised quadrangle Sp(4, q). In a less than conventional way the quadrangles are represented in the field GF (q) which allows some amount of computation to be done. It is shown that an ovoid of O(5, q) meets an elliptic quadric in 1 modulo p points.
متن کاملGeneralized Quadrangles and Projective Axes of Symmetry
We investigate generalized quadrangles Γ that admit at least two projective axes of symmetry. We show that if there are three such axes incident with a common point x, then x is a translation point of Γ. In case that Γ is moreover a compact connected quadrangle with topological parameters (p, p), p ∈ N, then Γ is a topological translation generalized quadrangle. We further investigate the case ...
