✦ Synopsis

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 q odd, one can derive Knarr's construction from Thas' one. To that end we describe an interesting representation of the point-plane flags of PG(3, q), which can be generalized to any dimension and which can be useful for other purposes. Applying this representation onto Thas' model of S(F ), another interesting model of S(F ) on a hyperbolic cone in PG(6, q) is obtained. In a final section we show how subquadrangles and ovoids of S(F) can be obtained via the description in PG(6, q).

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

The values t = 1, 3, 5, 6, 9 satisfy the standard necessary conditions for existence of a generalized quadrangle of order (3, t). This gives the following possible parameter sets for strongly regular graphs that are pseudo-geometric for such a generalized quadrangle: (v, k, λ, µ) = (16, 6, 2, 2), (4

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
