The known maximal partial ovoids of size q 2 − 1 of Q ( 4 , q ) ∗
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a description of maximal partial ovoids of size q2−1 of the parabolic quadric Q(4, q) as sharply transitive subsets of SL(2, q) and show their connection with spread sets. This representation leads to an elegant explicit description of all known examples. We also give an alternative representation of these examples which is related to root systems.

On large maximal partial ovoids of the parabolic quadric Q(4, q)
We use the representation T2(O) for Q(4, q) to show that maximal partial ovoids of Q(4, q) of size q − 1, q = p, h > 1 do not exist. Although this was known before, we give a slightly alternative proof, also resulting in more combinatorial information of the known examples for q prime. keywords: maximal partial ovoid, generalized quadrangle, parabolic quadric This paper is based on joint work w...
متن کاملPartial Ovoids and Spreads in Generalized Quadrangles, and Related Combinatorial Structures
In this paper we overview what is known about partial ovoids and spreads of finite (classical) generalized quadrangles. In the first, respectively the second, part of the paper we will be mostly concerned with small, respectively large, maximal partial ovoids and spreads. Also connections with other interesting objects in finite geometry will be explained. Among the new results are new bounds o...
متن کاملOn the smallest maximal partial ovoids and spreads of the generalized quadrangles W(q) and Q(4, q)
We present results on the size of the smallest maximal partial ovoids and on the size of the smallest maximal partial spreads of the generalized quadrangles W (q) and Q(4, q).
متن کاملA spectrum result on maximal partial ovoids of the generalized quadrangle Q(4, q), q even
In this article, we prove a spectrum result on maximal partial ovoids of the generalized quadrangle Q(4, q), q odd, i.e. for every integer k in the interval [a, b], where a ≈ 3 5 q and b ≈ 9 10 q, there exists a maximal partial ovoid of Q(4, q), q odd, of size k. Since the generalized quadrangle W(q) defined by a symplectic polarity of PG(3, q) is isomorphic to the dual of the generalized quadr...
متن کاملOvoidal blocking sets and maximal partial ovoids of Hermitian varieties
In [1], minimal large blocking sets in PG(3, q) and PG(4, q) havebeen constructed starting from ovoids of PG(3, q), Q(4, q) and Q(6, q).Some of these can be embedded in a hermitian variety as maximalpartial ovoids. In this paper, the geometric conditions assuring theseembeddings are established.References[1] F. Mazzocca, L. Storme and O. Polverino: Blocking sets in<l...
