Translation ovoids of flock generalized quadrangles
نویسندگان
چکیده
We give a characterization of translation ovoids of flock generalized quadrangles. Then we prove that, if q = 2e , each elation generalized quadrangle defined by a flock has a large class of translation ovoids which arise from semifields of dimension two over their left nucleus. Finally, we give some examples when q is odd. © 2003 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. MSC (2000): Primary 51E12; Secondary 51E20

Spreads and ovoids of finite generalized quadrangles
We survey recent results on spreads and ovoids of finite generalized quadrangles. Included in the survey are results on ovoids of PG(3, q); translation ovoids of Q(4, q); characterisations of generalized quadrangles using subquadrangles and ovoids of subquadrangles; and spreads of T2(Ω).
متن کاملIsomorphisms of groups related to flocks
A truly fruitful way to construct finite generalized quadrangles is through the detection of Kantor families in the general 5-dimensional Heisenberg group H2(q) over some finite field Fq . All these examples are so-called “flock quadrangles”. Payne (Geom. Dedic. 32:93–118, 1989) constructed from the Ganley flock quadrangles the new Roman quadrangles, which appeared not to arise from flocks, but...
متن کاملFlocks, ovoids and generalized quadrangles
Let (∞, π∞) be an incident point-plane pair of PG(3, q). A tetrad with respect to (∞, π∞) is a set {X,Y, Z,W} of points of PG(3, q) \ π∞ such that {∞, X, Y, Z,W} is a cap of PG(3, q), ∞ ∈ 〈X,Y, Z〉 and W 6∈ 〈X,Y, Z〉. A set Θ of ovoids of PG(3, q) is tetradic with respect to (∞, π∞) if each ovoid contains ∞, has tangent plane π∞ and is such that each tetrad with respect to (∞, π∞) is contained in...
متن کاملPartial Ovoids and Spreads in Generalized Quadrangles, and Related Combinatorial Structures
In this paper we overview what is known about partial ovoids and spreads of finite (classical) generalized quadrangles. In the first, respectively the second, part of the paper we will be mostly concerned with small, respectively large, maximal partial ovoids and spreads. Also connections with other interesting objects in finite geometry will be explained. Among the new results are new bounds o...
متن کاملThe Classification of Generalized Quadrangles with Two Translation Points
Suppose S is a finite generalized quadrangle (GQ) of order (s, t), s 6= 1 6= t, and suppose that L is a line of S. A symmetry about L is an automorphism of the GQ which fixes every line of S meeting L (including L). A line is called an axis of symmetry if there is a full group of symmetries of size s about this line, and a point of a generalized quadrangle is a translation point if every line t...
