## Abstract Let A be the incidence matrix of lines and points of the classical projective plane __PG__(2, __q__) with __q__ odd. With respect to a conic in __PG__(2, __q__), the matrix A is partitioned into 9 submatrices. The rank of each of these submatrices over __F__~__q__~, the defining field o

โฆ Synopsis
We compute the dimension of some of the binary codes associated with the unital ZJ(3, q), the generalized quadrangle U(4, q) and its dual O;(q) for odd q.

We determine the p-rank of the incidence matrix of hyperplanes of PG(n, pC) and points of a nondegenerate Hermitian variety. As a corollary, we obtain new bounds for the size of caps and the existence of ovoids in finite unitary spaces. This paper is a companion to an earlier work in which Blokhuis
