On Near Hexagons and Spreads of Generalized Quadrangles
نویسنده
چکیده
The glueing-construction described in this paper makes use of two generalized quadrangles with a spread in each of them and yields a partial linear space with special properties. We study the conditions under which glueing will give a near hexagon. These near hexagons satisfy the nice property that every two points at distance 2 are contained in a quad. We characterize the class of the “glued near hexagons” and give examples, some of which are new near hexagons.

Coordinatization structures for generalized quadrangles and glued near hexagons
A generalized admissible triple is a triple T = (L, X,∆), where X is a set of size s + 1 ≥ 2, L is a Steiner system S(2, s + 1, st + 1), t ≥ 1, with point-set P and ∆ is a very nice map from P × P to the group Sym(X) of all permutations of the set X. Generalized admissible triples can be used to coordinatize generalized quadrangles with a regular spread and glued near hexagons. The idea of coor...
متن کاملSpreads and ovoids of finite generalized quadrangles
We survey recent results on spreads and ovoids of finite generalized quadrangles. Included in the survey are results on ovoids of PG(3, q); translation ovoids of Q(4, q); characterisations of generalized quadrangles using subquadrangles and ovoids of subquadrangles; and spreads of T2(Ω).
متن کاملSolution to an open problem on extremal generalized hexagons
A finite generalized 2d-gon of order (s, t) with d ∈ {2, 3, 4} and s 6= 1 is called extremal if t attains its maximal possible value sed , where e2 = e4 = 2 and e3 = 3. The problem of finding combinatorial conditions that are both necessary and sufficient for a finite generalized 2d-gon of order (s, t) to be extremal has so far only be solved for quadrangles and octagons. In this paper, we obta...
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...
