Abstract: | In this note, we prove the uniqueness of the one-point extension S of a generalized hexagon of order 2 and prove the non-existence of such an extension S of any other finite generalized hexagon of classical order, different from the one of order 2, and of the known finite generalized octagons provided the following property holds: for any three points x, y and z of S, the graph-theoretic distance from y to z in the derived generalized hexagon Sx is the same as the distance from x to z in Sy. |
