Determination of generalized quadrangles with distinct elation points
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper, we classify the finite generalized quadrangles of order (s, t), s, t > 1, which have a line L of elation points, with the additional property that there is a line M not meeting L for which {L , M} is regular. This is a first fundamental step towards the classification of those generalized quadrangles having a line of elation points.

متن کاملOn Finite Elation Generalized Quadrangles with Symmetries
We study the structure of finite groups G which act as elation groups on finite generalized quadrangles and contain a full group of symmetries about some line through the base point. Such groups are related to the translation groups of translation transversal designs with parameters depending on those of the quadrangles. Using results on the structure of /^-groups which act as translation group...
متن کاملFoundations of elation generalized quadrangles
In these notes we are interested in the following fundamental question: “Given a thick generalized quadrangle S(x) with elation point (respectively center of transitivity) x , when does the set of all elations about x form a group?”. It was the general belief for a long time that this is usually the case. However, the goal of these notes is to show that this belief is wrong. To that end, we wil...
