✦ Synopsis


We characterize the Moufang hexagons in characteristic 2 by requiring that certain sets of points (defined by distances from other objects) are nonempty. Together with a known result for quadrangles, we obtain a common combinatorial characterization of the symplectic quadrangles over an arbitrary finite field and the classical hexagons over a field of characteristic 2 amongst all finite generalized polygons.

Let 1 be a thick finite generalized hexagon and let G be a group of automorphisms of 1. If G acts transitively on the set of non-degenerate ordered heptagons, then 1 is one of the Moufang hexagons H(q) or 3 H(q) associated to the Chevalley groups G 2 (q) or 3 D 4 (q) respectively, or their duals; an

A remarkably simple proof is presented for an interesting generalization of a combinatorial identity given recently by L. Vietoris [Monatsh. Math. 97 (1984) 157-160]. It is also shown how this general result can be extended further to hold true for basic (or q-) series.

We show that two well known characterization theorems for the exponential distribution, based on the lack of memory property and independence of successive spacings, can be used to characterize other absolutely continuous distributions useful in modelling precipitation and stream-flow data. Characte
