Generalized Quadrangles and Transitive Pseudo-Hyperovals
نویسندگان
چکیده
A pseudo-hyperoval of a projective space PG(3n− 1, q), q even, is a set of q +2 subspaces of dimension n − 1 such that any three span the whole space. We prove that a pseudo-hyperoval with an irreducible transitive stabiliser is elementary. We then deduce from this result a classification of the thick generalised quadrangles Q that admit a point-primitive, line-transitive automorphism group with a pointregular abelian normal subgroup. Specifically, we show thatQ is flag-transitive and isomorphic to T ∗ 2 (H), whereH is either the regular hyperoval of PG(2, 4) or the Lunelli–Sce hyperoval of PG(2, 16).

Moufang-like conditions for generalized quadrangles and classification of all finite quasi-transitive generalized quadrangles
We tell the history ofMoufang generalized quadrangles.We review someMoufang-like conditions, and classify finite quasi-transitive generalized quadrangles. These are generalized quadrangles so that for any two non-concurrent linesU,V of theGQ, and for someW ∈ {U,V }⊥, the group of generalized homologies with axes U and V acts transitively on the points ofW incident with neither U nor V. As a by-...

متن کاملDoubly Transitive Dimensional Dual Hyperovals: Universal Covers and Non-Bilinear Examples
In [5] we showed, that a doubly transitive, non-solvable dimensional dual hyperoval D is either isomorphic to the Mathieu dual hyperoval or to a quotient of a Huybrechts dual hyperoval. In order to determine the doubly transitive dimensional dual hyperovals, it remains to classify the doubly transitive, solvable dimensional dual hyperovals and this paper is a contribution to this problem. A dou...
متن کاملLocal Sharply Transitive Actions on Finite Generalized Quadrangles
We classify the finite generalized quadrangles containing a line L such that some group of collineations acts sharply transitively on the ordered pentagons which start with two points of L. This can be seen as a generalization of a result of Thas and the second author [22] classifying all finite generalized quadrangles admitting a collineation group that acts transitively on all ordered pentago...
متن کاملThe pseudo-hyperplanes and homogeneous pseudo-embeddings of the generalized quadrangles of order (3, t)
In the paper [8], we introduced the notions of pseudo-hyperplane and pseudoembedding of a point-line geometry and proved that every generalized quadrangle of order (s, t), 2 ≤ s <∞, has faithful pseudo-embeddings. The present paper focuses on generalized quadrangles of order (3, t). Using the computer algebra system GAP [12] and invoking some theoretical relationships between pseudo-hyperplanes...
