โฆ Synopsis
Let แป be an ovoid of PG(3 , q ) , q even , such that each secant plane section is an oval contained in a translation hyperoval . Then แป is shown to be either an elliptic quadric or a Tits ovoid .

This paper is a contribution to the classification of ovoids. We show, under some rather technical assumptions, that if an ovoid of PG(3, q) has a pencil of monomial ovals, then it is either an elliptic quadric or a Tits ovoid. Further, we show that if an ovoid of PG(3, q) has a bundle of translatio
In PG (3, q), q even, Cherowitzo made a detailed study of flocks of a cone with a translation oval as base; also called -flocks . To a flock of a quadratic cone in PG(3, q), q even, there always corresponds a set of q#1 ovals in PG(2, q), called an oval herd. To an -flock of a cone with an arbitrary
