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.
Denote by a(n) and p(n), respectively, the smallest positive integers ,I and p for which an &(2, n, n') and an S,,(2, n + 1, n2 + n + 1) exist. We thus consider the problem of the existence of (nontrivial) quasimultiples of atline and projective planes of arbitrary order n. The best previously known
