A class of k-caps having k-2 points in common with an elliptic quadric and two points on an external line
نویسندگان
چکیده
The main problem on caps, posed originally by Segre in the fifties, is to determine the values of k for which there exists a complete k-cap. In the present paper, we construct in PG(3, q), for odd prime q, a family of ~ (q2 + 7)-caps which have 2 points on a line external to an elliptic quadric E and the remaining points on E. We conjecture that they are complete.

Example of Chain of Circles on an Elliptic Quadric of PG(3, q), q=9, 13
Given an elliptic quadric K of PG(3, q), q odd, suppose that F = (C, , c c1,+3,,*1 2 ,.-*, is a chain of circles on K. Let Pi be the plane of Ci and let Xi be the pole of Pi with respect to K. Then the set F* = {X,, X2 ,-.., Xc4+3j,z} has the properties (i) each line XiXj (i #j), is external to K, (ii) no three points of F* are collinear, and (iii) no tangent plane of K meets F* in more than tw...
متن کاملThe Tangent Cones at Double points of Prym-Canonical Divisors of Curves of genus 7
Let η be a line bundle on a smooth curve X with η^2=0 such that π_η, the double covering induced by η is an etale morphism. Assume also that X_η be the Prym-canonical model of X associated to K_X.η and Q is a rank 4 quadric containing X_η. After stablishing the projective normality of the prym-canonical models of curves X with Clifford index 2, we obtain in this paper a sufficient condition for...
متن کاملOvoids and Translation Ovals
An ooid in a 3-dimensional projective geometry PG(3, q) over the field GF(q), where q is a prime power, is a set of q#1 points no three of which are collinear. Because of their connections with other combinatorial structures ovoids are of interest to mathematicians in a variety of fields ; for from an ovoid one can construct an inversive plane [3], a generalised quadrangle [11], and if q is e...
متن کاملOn a special class of Stanley-Reisner ideals
For an $n$-gon with vertices at points $1,2,cdots,n$, the Betti numbers of its suspension, the simplicial complex that involves two more vertices $n+1$ and $n+2$, is known. In this paper, with a constructive and simple proof, wegeneralize this result to find the minimal free resolution and Betti numbers of the $S$-module $S/I$ where $S=K[x_{1},cdots, x_{n}]$ and $I$ is the associated ideal to ...
متن کاملA two-phase free boundary problem for a semilinear elliptic equation
In this paper we study a two-phase free boundary problem for a semilinear elliptic equation on a bounded domain $Dsubset mathbb{R}^{n}$ with smooth boundary. We give some results on the growth of solutions and characterize the free boundary points in terms of homogeneous harmonic polynomials using a fundamental result of Caffarelli and Friedman regarding the representation of functions whose ...
