## 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
We prove Heden's result that the deficiency 6 of a maximal partial spread in PG(3, q) is greater than 1 + $( 1 + fi)G unless 6 -1 is a multiple of p, where q = p". When q is odd and not a square, we are able to improve this lower bound to roughly a.
