چکیده

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 quadrangle Q(4, q), the same result is obtained for maximal partial spreads of W(q), q odd. This article concludes a series of articles on spectrum results on maximal partial ovoids of Q(4, q), on spectrum results on maximal partial spreads of W(q), on spectrum results on maximal partial 1-systems of Q(5, q), and on spectrum results on minimal blocking sets with respect to the planes of PG(3, q). We conclude this article with the tables summarizing the results.

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...

Partial 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...

Maximal Arcs in PG(2, q) and partial flocks of the quadratic cone

In this paper we show that there are several other structures that arise from the functions associated with the maximal arcs of Mathon type. So it is shown that maximal arcs of Mathon type are equivalent to additive partial flocks of the quadratic cone in PG(3, q) and to additive partial q-clans. Further they yield partial ovoids of Q(5, q), partial spreads of lines of PG(3, q), translation k-a...

On m-ovoids of W3(q)

We show that the generalized quadrangle W3(q) for odd q has exponentially many 12(q+1)–ovoids, thus implying that the generalized quadrangle Q(4, q) has exponentially many hemisystems for odd q. For q even, we show that W3(q) has m–ovoids for all integers m, 1 ≤ m ≤ q. Stabilizers are determined, and some computer results are given.
