We define the notion of regular point \(p\) in a generalized hexagon and show how a derived geometry at such a point can be defined. We motivate this by proving that, for finite generalized hexagons of order \((s, t)\), this derivation is a generalized quadrangle iff \(s=t\). Moreover, if the genera
With any flock F of the quadratic cone K of PG(3, q) there corresponds a generalized quadrangle S(F) of order (q 2 , q). For q odd Knarr gave a pure geometrical construction of S(F) starting from F. Recently, Thas found a geometrical construction of S(F) which works for any q. Here we show how, for
We present a common construction for some known infinite classes of generalized quadrangles. Whether this construction yields other (unknown) generalized quadrangles is an open problem. The class of generalized quadrangles obtained this way is characterized in two different ways. On the one hand, th
