## Abstract Maximal partial ovoids and maximal partial spreads of the hermitian generalized quadrangles __H__(3,__q__^2^) and __H__(4,__q__^2^) are studied in great detail. We present improved lower bounds on the size of maximal partial ovoids and maximal partial spreads in the hermitian quadrangle

β¦ Synopsis
The point-line geometry known as a partial quadrangle (introduced by Cameron in 1975) has the property that for every point/line non-incident pair (P, ), there is at most one line through P concurrent with . So in particular, the well-studied objects known as generalized quadrangles are each partial quadrangles. An intriguing set of a generalized quadrangle is a set of points which induces an equitable partition of size two of the underlying strongly regular graph. We extend the theory of intriguing sets of generalized quadrangles by Bamberg, Law and Penttila to partial quadrangles, which gives insight into the structure of hemisystems and other intriguing sets of generalized quadrangles.

## Abstract Latin square type partial difference sets (PDS) are known to exist in __R__ Γ __R__ for various abelian __p__βgroups __R__ and in β€^__t__^. We construct a family of Latin square type PDS in β€^__t__^ Γ β€^2__nt__^~__p__~ using finite commutative chain rings. When __t__ is odd, the ambient
We develop methods for coding with first-order formulas into the partial order E of enumerable sets under inclusion. First we use them to reprove and generalize the (unpublished) result of the first author that the elementary theory of E has the same computational complexity as the theory of the nat
