In this paper it is shown that given a non-degenerate elliptic quadric in the projective space PG(2n -1, q), q odd, then there does not exist a spread of PG(2n -1, q) such that each element of the spread meets the quadric in a maximal totally singular subspace. An immediate consequence is that the c
Maximal arcs in Desarguesian planes of odd order do not exist

## Abstract The sporadic complete 12βarc in PG(2, 13) contains eight points from a conic. In PG(2,__q__) with __q__>13 odd, all known complete __k__βarcs sharing exactly Β½(__q__+3) points with a conic π have size at most Β½(__q__+3)+2, with only two exceptions, both due to Pellegrino, which are comp
## Abstract The codewords at distance three from a particular codeword of a perfect binary oneβerrorβcorrecting code (of length 2^m^β1) form a Steiner triple system. It is a longstanding open problem whether every Steiner triple system of order 2^m^β1 occurs in a perfect code. It turns out that thi
