Ovoids of Parabolic Spaces

A new ovoid in the orthogonal space O(5,3⁵) is presented, along with its associated spreads and (semifield) translation planes. Sundry results on ovoids and spreads are given. In particular, we complete the calculation of the stabilisers of the known O(5,q) ovoids.     

A Bose-Burton Theorem for Elliptic Polar Spaces

In bose&burton, Bose and Burton determined the smallest point sets of PG(d, q) that meet every subspace of PG(d, q) of a given dimension c. In this paper an equivalent result for quadrics of elliptic type is obtained. It states the folloing. For 0 c n - 1 the smallest point set of the elliptic quadric Q ^-(2n + 1, q) that meets every singular subspace of dimension c of Q ^-(2n + 1, q) has cardinality (q ⁿ⁺¹ + q ^c )(q ^n-c - 1)/(q - 1). Furthermore, the point sets of the smallest cardinality are classified.     

Compact Ovoids in Quadrangles II: the Classical Quadrangles

In this second part we consider ovoids in the classical compact connected quadrangles. We solve the problem whether closed ovoids or spreads exist in these quadrangles. In fact we prove a slightly more general result: we determine whether the normal sphere bundles of the point- or line space admit sections, or whether they are topologically trivial. We also give explicit geometric constructions for spreads and ovoids. Some of these spreads are apparently new.     

m-Systems and Partial m-Systemsof Polar Spaces

LetP be a finite classical polar space of rankr, withr 2. A partialm-systemM ofP, with 0 m r - 1, is any set (₁), ₂,..., _k ofk ( 0) totally singularm-spaces ofP such that no maximal totally singular space containing _i has a point in common with (_{1 2} ... _k) — _i,i = 1, 2,...,k. In a previous paper an upper bound for ¦M¦ was obtained (Theorem 1). If ¦M¦ = , thenM is called anm-system ofP. Form = 0 them-systems are the ovoids ofP; form =r - 1 them-systems are the spreads ofP. In this paper we improve in many cases the upper bound for the number of elements of a partialm-system, thus proving the nonexistence of several classes ofm-systems.Dedicated to Hanfried Lenz on the occasion of his 80th birthday     

Some Characterizations of Finite Hermitian Veroneseans

We characterize the finite Veronesean of all Hermitian varieties of PG(n,q²) as the unique representation of PG(n,q²) in PG(d,q), d n(n+2), where points and lines of PG(n,q²) are represented by points and ovoids of solids, respectively, of PG(d,q), with the only condition that the point set of PG(d,q) corresponding to the point set of PG(n,q²) generates PG(d,q). Using this result for n=2, we show that is characterized by the following properties: (1) ; (2) each hyperplane of PG(8,q) meets in q²+1, q³+1 or q³+q²+1 points; (3) each solid of PG(8,q) having at least q+3 points in common with shares exactly q²+1 points with it.51E24

Ovoids and Bipartite Subgraphs in Generalized Quadrangles

A point-line incidence system is called an -partial geometry of order (s,t) if each line contains s + 1 points, each point lies on t + 1 lines, and for any point a not lying on a line L, there exist precisely lines passing through a and intersecting L (the notation is pG (s,t)). If = 1, then such a geometry is called a generalized quadrangle and denoted by GQ(s,t). It is established that if a pseudogeometric graph for a generalized quadrangle GQ(s,s ² – s) contains more than two ovoids, then s = 2. It is proved that the point graph of a generalized quadrangle GQ(4,t) contains no K _4,6-subgraphs. Finally, it is shown that if some -subgraph of a pseudogeometric graph for a generalized quadrangle GQ(4,t) contains a triangle, then t 6.     

Translation Ovoids of Generalized Quadrangles and Hexagnos

We define the notion of a translation ovoid in the classical generalized quadrangles and hexagons of order q, and we enumerate all known examples; translation spreads are defined dually. A modification of the known ovoids in the generalized hexagon H(q), q=3^2h+1, yields new ovoids of that hexagon. Dualizing and projecting along reguli, we obtain an alternative construction of the Roman ovoids due to Thas and Payne. Also, we construct a new translation spread in H(q) for any 1 mod 3, q odd, with the property that any projection along reguli yields the classical ovoid in the generalized quadrangle Q(4,q). Finally, we prove that for q odd, the new example is the only non-Hermitian translation spread in H(q) with the property that any projection along reguli yields the classical ovoid in Q(4,q).     

Compact Ovoids in Quadrangles I: Geometric Constructions

This paper is about ovoids in infinite generalized quadrangles. Using the axiom of choice, Cameron showed that infinite quadrangles contain many ovoids. Therefore, we consider mainly closed ovoids in compact quadrangles. After deriving some basic properties of compact ovoids, we consider ovoids which arise from full imbeddings. This leads to restrictions for the topological parameters (m,m). For example, if there is a regular pair of lines or a full closed subquadrangle, then mm. The existence of full subquadrangles implies the nonexistence of ideal subquadrangles, so finite-dimensional quadrangles are either point-minimal or line-minimal. Another result is that (up to duality) such a quadrangle is spanned by the set of points on an ordinary quadrangle. This is useful for studying orbits of automorphism groups. Finally we prove general nonexistence results for ovoids in quadrangles with low-dimensional line pencils. As one consequence we show that the symplectic quadrangle over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0 has no Zariski-closed ovoids or spreads.     

Applications of Number Theory to Ovoids and Translation Planes

In this paper we show that for each prime p7 there exists a translation plane of order p ² of Mason–Ostrom type. These planes occur as six-dimensional ovoids being projections of the eight-dimensional binary ovoids of Conway, Kleidman and Wilson. In order to verify the existence of such projections we prove certain properties of two particular quadratic forms using classical methods form number theory.     

Sub-weakly Embedded Singular and Degenerate Polar Spaces

We show that every sub-weak embedding of any singular (degenerate or not) orthogonal or unitary polar space of non-singular rank at least 3 in a projective space PG , a commutative field, is the projection of a full embedding in some subspace PG of PG , where PG contains PG and is a subfield of . The same result is proved in the symplectic case under the assumption that the field over which the polarity is defined is perfect if the characteristic is 2 and if each secant line of the embedded polar space contains exactly two points of . This completes the classification of all sub-weak embeddings of orthogonal, symplectic and unitary polar spaces (singular or not; degenerate or not) of non-singular rank at least 3 and defined over a commutative field , where in the characteristic 2 case is perfect if the polar space is symplectic and the degree of the embedding is 2.     

Flocks, Ovoids of Q(4,q)and Designs

We prove that an ovoid O of Q(4,q),q odd, is the Thas' ovoid associated with a semifield flock if and only if O represents, on the Klein quadric, a symplectic spread of PG(3,q), whose associated plane is a semifiled plane.

Large Caps in Small Spaces

We construct large caps in projective spaces of small dimension (up to 11) defined over fields of orderat most 9. The constructions are both theoretical and computer-supported. Some more computer-generated 4-dimensional caps over larger fields are alsomentioned.     

Approximation of Metric Spaces by Partial Metric Spaces

Partial metrics are generalised metrics with non-zero self-distances. We slightly generalise Matthews' original definition of partial metrics, yielding a notion of weak partial metric. After considering weak partial metric spaces in general, we introduce a weak partial metric on the poset of formal balls of a metric space. This weak partial metric can be used to construct the completion of classical metric spaces from the domain-theoretic rounded ideal completion.     

Some Inequalities in Classical Spaces with Mixed Norms

We consider some inequalities in such classical Banach Function Spaces as Lorentz, Marcinkiewicz, and Orlicz spaces. Our aim is to explore connections between the norm of a function of two variables on the product space and the mixed norm of the same function, where mixed norm is calculated in function spaces on coordinate spaces, first in one variable, then in the other. This issue is motivated by various problems of functional analysis and theory of functions. We will currently mention just geometry of spaces of vector-valued functions and embedding theorems for Sobolev and Besov spaces generated by metrics which differ from L ^p. Our main results are actually counterexamples for Lorentz spaces versus the natural intuition that arises from the easier case of Orlicz spaces (Section 2). In the Appendix we give a proof for the Kolmogorov–Nagumo theorem on change of order of mixed norm calculation in its most general form. This result shows that L ^p is the only space where it is possible to change this order.     

Diagrams in Categories of Partial Linear Spaces of Order Two

In this note we define, using a universal property, the concept of diagram for a space in categories of not necessarily finite partial linear spaces of order two and prove that in the category of symplectic-type spaces all spaces have diagrams.     

Compact Ovoids in Quadrangles III: Clifford Algebras and Isoparametric Hypersurfaces

In this third part, we consider those compact quadrangles which arise from isoparametric hypersurfaces of Clifford type and their focal manifolds. Sections 9–11 give a comprehensive introduction to these quadrangles from the incidence-geometric point of view. Section 10 contains also a new (algebraic) proof that these geometries are quadrangles.We determine which of these quadrangles have ovoids or spreads and also whether the normal sphere bundles of the focal manifolds admit sections, or whether they are topologically trivial. We give explicit geometric constructions for spreads, ovoids, and sections.
