Let the point-line geometry Γ = (P ,L) be a half-spin geometry of type Dn,n. Then, for every embedding of Γ in the projective space P(V ), where V is a vector space of dimension 2n−1, it is true that every hyperplane of Γ arises from that embedding. It follows that any embedding of this dimension is universal. There are no embeddings of higher dimension. A corollary of this result and the fact ...
