โœฆ Synopsis


A regular {v,n}-arc of a projective space P of order q is a set S of Y points such that each line of P has exactly 0 , l or n points in common with S and such that there exists a line of P intersecting S in exactly n points. Our main results are as follows: (1) If P is a projective plane of order q and if S is a regular {v, n}-arc with n 2 f i + 1, then S is a set of n collinear points, a Baer subplane, a unital, or a maximal arc. (2) If P is a projective space of order q and if S is a regular {v,n}-arc with n 2 f i + 1 spanning a subspace U of dimension at least 3, then S is a Baer subspace of U, an affine space of order q in U, or S equals the point Set Of u.

A partial t-spread in a projective space P is a set of mutually skew t-dimensional subspaces of P. In this paper, we deal with the question, how many elements of a partial spread Sf can be contained in a given d-dimensional subspace of P. Our main results run as follows. If any d-dimensional subspac

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
