Projective embeddings of dual polar spaces arising from a class of alternative division rings
نویسندگان
چکیده
We discuss some recent results of us regarding a class of polar spaces which includes the nonembeddable polar spaces introduced by Tits [3]. These results include an elementary construction of the polar space, a construction of a polarized embedding of the corresponding dual polar space and the determination whether this projective embedding is universal and unique (as a polarized embedding).

Universal and homogeneous embeddings of dual polar spaces of rank 3 defined over quadratic alternative division algebras
Suppose O is an alternative division algebra that is quadratic over some subfield K of its center Z(O). Then with (O,K), there is associated a dual polar space. We provide an explicit representation of this dual polar space into a (6n + 7)dimensional projective space over K, where n = dimK(O). We prove that this embedding is the universal one, provided |K| > 2. When O is not an inseparable fiel...
متن کاملPolarized and homogeneous embeddings of dual polar spaces
Let Γ be the dual of a classical polar space and let e be a projective embedding of Γ, defined over a commutative division ring. We shall prove that, if e is homogeneous, then it is polarized. MSC 2000: 51B25, 51E24, 51A45, 51A50.
متن کاملOn a Class of Hyperplanes of the Symplectic and Hermitian Dual Polar Spaces
Let ∆ be a symplectic dual polar space DW (2n−1, K) or a Hermitian dual polar space DH(2n − 1, K, θ), n ≥ 2. We define a class of hyperplanes of ∆ arising from its Grassmann-embedding and discuss several properties of these hyperplanes. The construction of these hyperplanes allows us to prove that there exists an ovoid of the Hermitian dual polar space DH(2n−1, K, θ) arising from its Grassmann-...
متن کاملMinimal full polarized embeddings of dual polar spaces
Let be a thick dual polar space of rank n ≥ 2 admitting a full polarized embedding e in a finite-dimensional projective space , i.e., for every point x of , e maps the set of points of at non-maximal distance from x into a hyperplane e∗(x) of . Using a result of Kasikova and Shult [11], we are able the show that there exists up to isomorphisms a unique full polarized embedding of of minimal dim...
متن کاملCombinatorial Construction of Some Near Polygons
We give a construction which takes a rank two incidence geometry with three points on a line and returns a geometry of the same type, i.e., with three points on a line. It is also demonstrated that embeddings of the original geometry can be extended to the new geometry. It is shown that the family of dual polar spaces of type Sp(2n, 2) arise recursively from the construction starting with the g...
