ac.be. \* . The set of all points r i \* is denoted by B; we have |B| =q 2n . Further, let A be the set of all intersections of PG(n+1, q n ) with the tangent lines of the conics C i at s 1 . The tangent line U i of C i at s 1 belongs to {ร , hence of B and just one point of A. Let ? be the plane c
Let S=(P, B, I) be a generalized quadrangle of order (q, q 2 ), q>1, and assume that S satisfies Property (G) at the flag (x, L). If q is odd then S is the dual of a flock generalized quadrangle. This solves (a stronger version of ) a ten-year-old conjecture. We emphasize that this is a powerful the
If (x,y,z) is a 3-regular triad of a generalized quadrangle S=(P,B,I) of order (s, s2), s even, then {x,y,z}lu {x, y,z} ยฑยฑ is contained in a subquadrangle of order s. As an application it is proved that a generalized quadrangle of order (4, 16) with at least one 3-regular triad is isomorphic to the
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
