A family of m-ovoids of parabolic quadrics
We construct a family of (q−1) 2 -ovoids of Q(4, q), the parabolic quadric of PG(4, q), for q ≡ 3 (mod 4). The existence of (q−1) 2 -ovoids of Q(4, q) was only known for q = 3, 7, or 11. Our construction provides the first infinite family of (q−1) 2 -ovoids of Q(4, q). Along the way, we also give a construction of (q+1) 2 -ovoids in Q(4, q) for q ≡ 1 (mod 4).
متن کاملOn Ovoids of Parabolic Quadrics
It is known that every ovoid of the parabolic quadric Q(4,q), q = ph, p prime, intersects every three-dimensional elliptic quadric in 1 mod p points. We present a new approach which gives us a second proof of this result and, in the case when p = 2, allows us to prove that every ovoid of Q(4,q) either intersects all the three-dimensional elliptic quadrics in 1 mod 4 points or intersects all the...
متن کاملA family of ovoids of the Hermitian Surface in PG(3, q) with q ≥ 5 odd
Multiple derivation of the classical ovoid of the Hermitian surface H(3, q) of PG(3, q) is a well known, powerful method for constructing large families of non classical ovoids of H(3, q). In this paper, multiple derivation is generalised and applied to non-classical ovoids. A resulting new family of ovoids is investigated. Mathematics Subject Classification (2000).

متن کاملASSOCIATION SCHEMES FROM OVOIDS IN PG(3, q)
We discuss three proofs of a conjecture of De Caen and Van Dam on the existence of some four-class association scheme on the set of unordered pairs of distinct points of the projective line PG(1, 4 ), where f ≥ 2 is an integer. Our emphasis is on the proof using inversive planes and ovoids in PG(3, q).
متن کاملA Geometric Construction for Some Ovoids of the Hermitian Surface
Multiple derivation of the classical ovoid of the Hermitian surface H(3, q) of PG(3, q) is a well known, powerful method for constructing large families of non classical ovoids of H(3, q). In this paper, we shall provide a geometric costruction of a family of ovoids amenable to multiple derivation. Mathematics Subject Classification (2000). Primary 51E20; Secondary 51A50.
