On m-ovoids of W3(q)
نویسندگان
چکیده
We show that the generalized quadrangle W3(q) for odd q has exponentially many 12(q+1)–ovoids, thus implying that the generalized quadrangle Q(4, q) has exponentially many hemisystems for odd q. For q even, we show that W3(q) has m–ovoids for all integers m, 1 ≤ m ≤ q. Stabilizers are determined, and some computer results are given.

A 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 کاملTight sets and m-ovoids of generalised quadrangles
The concept of a tight set of points of a generalised quadrangle was introduced by S. E. Payne in 1987, and that of an m-ovoid of a generalised quadrangle was introduced by J. A. Thas in 1989, and we unify these two concepts by defining intriguing sets of points. We prove that every intriguing set of points in a generalised quadrangle is an m-ovoid or a tight set, and we state an intersection r...
متن کاملSpreads 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 کاملOn the smallest maximal partial ovoids and spreads of the generalized quadrangles W(q) and Q(4, q)
We present results on the size of the smallest maximal partial ovoids and on the size of the smallest maximal partial spreads of the generalized quadrangles W (q) and Q(4, q).
متن کاملOn Semi-Pseudo-Ovoids
In this paper we introduce semi-pseudo-ovoids, as generalizations of the semi-ovals and semi-ovoids. Examples of these objects are particular classes of SPG-reguli and some classes of m-systems of polar spaces. As an application it is proved that the axioms of pseudo-ovoid O(n, 2n, q) in PG(4n − 1, q) can be considerably weakened and further a useful and elegant characterization of SPG-reguli w...
