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

First, we survey the known generalized quadrangles of order (q 2 , q), q even, including a description of their known subquadrangles of order q. Then, in the case of Tits' generalized quadrangles, we completely classify the subquadrangles of order q, while in the case of the flock quadrangles we cla

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 fi

In this paper we study laxly embedded generalized hexagons in finite projective spaces (a generalized hexagon is laxly embedded in PG(d, q) if it is a spanning subgeometry of the natural point-line geometry associated to PG(d, q)), satisfying the following additional assumption: for any point x of t
