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
This paper reports the result of a computer search which show s that there is no oval in a projective plane of order 10. It gives a brief description of the search method as well as a brief survey of other possible configurations in a plane of order 10.
We construct by computer all of the hyperovals in the 22 known projective planes of order 16. Our most interesting result is that four of the planes contain no hyperovals, thus providing counterexamples to the old conjecture that every finite projective plane contains an oval.
