Ovoids and spreads of the generalized hexagon H(3)
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we construct and classify all ovoids and spreads of the known generalized hexagon of order 3 (the split Cayley hexagonH(3)). We exhibit some unexpected and nice geometric properties. As an application, we provide an elementary and geometric construction of a G2(3)-GAB of type G̃2. We also exhibit new ovoid-spread pairings. © 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Spreads in H(q) and 1-systems of Q(6, q )
In this paper we prove that the projections along reguli of a translation spread of the classical generalized hexagon H(q) are translation ovoids of Q(4, q). As translation ovoids of Q(4, 2r ) are elliptic quadrics, this forces that all translation spreads of H(2r ) are semi-classical. By representing H(q) as a coset geometry, we obtain a characterization of a translation spread in terms of a s...
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 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).

Using the connection between translation spreads of H(q) and linear sets (see Cardinali et al. in Eur J Comb 23:367–376, 2002; Lunardon and Polverino in J Algebraic Comb 18:255–262, 2003), some results on the existence of translation spreads of H(q) are given, improving classification results contained inOffer (Spreads and ovoids of the split Cayley hexagon, 2000) and in Bonoli and Polverino (D...
متن کاملSome results on Spreads and Ovoids
We survey some results on ovoids and spreads of finite polar spaces, focusing on the ovoids of H(3, q) arising from spreads of PG(3, q) via indicator sets and Shult embedding, and on some related constructions. We conclude with a remark on symplectic spreads of PG(2n− 1, q).
