A New Semifield Flock
نویسندگان
چکیده
Let K be a quadratic cone of PG(3, q) with vertex v. A flock F of K is a partition of K"[v] into q conics. If all planes containing the elements of the flock F share a common line, then F is called linear. Given a flock F there is a standard construction of a generalized quadrangle Q(F) associated with F ([19]), which is classical if and only if F is a linear flock.

The Hermitian ovoids of Cossidente , Ebert , Marino , Siciliano
The two classes of semifield spreads of Cossidente et al. arising from their Hermitian ovoids are completely determined as a set of Kantor-Knuth flock semifield spreads and a set of Hughes-Kleinfeld semifield spreads.
متن کاملInnovations in Incidence Geometry
In 1965 Knuth [4] showed that from a given finite semifield one can construct further semifields manipulating the corresponding cubical array, and obtain in total six semifields from the given one. In the case of a rank two commutative semifield (the semifields corresponding to a semifield flock) these semifields have been investigated in [1], providing a geometric connection between these six ...
متن کاملOn Monomial Flocks
We study monomial flocks of quadratic cones of PG(3, q), with emphasis on the case where the flock is semifield, providing some nonexistence and some uniqueness results. In addition, we give a computer-free proof of the existence of the sporadic semifield flock of the quadratic cone of PG(3, 35) (and hence of the sporadic translation ovoid of Q(4, 35)), and relate that flock to the sporadic sim...
متن کاملThe six semifield planes associated with a semifield flock
In 1965 Knuth [17] noticed that a finite semifield was determined by a 3-cube array (aijk) and that any permutation of the indices would give another semifield. In this article we explain the geometrical significance of these permutations. It is known that a pair of functions (f, g) where f and g are functions from GF (q) to GF (q) with the property that f and g are linear over some subfield an...
متن کاملCommutative semifields of rank 2 over their nucleus
This article is about finite commutative semifields that are of rank 2 over their nucleus, the largest subset of elements that is a finite field. These semifields have a direct correspondence to certain flocks of the quadratic cone in PG(3, q) and to certain ovoids of the parabolic space Q(4, q). We shall consider these links, the known examples and non-existence results. 1 Semifields A finite ...
