✦ Synopsis

In this paper, we develop some of the theory of spreads of projective spaces with an eye towards generalizing the results of R. H. Bruck (1969, in ''Combinatorial Mathematics and Its Applications,'' Chap. 27, pp. 426-514, Univ. of North Carolina Press, Chapel Hill). In particular, we wish to generalize the notion of a subregular spread to the higher dimensional case. Most of the theory here was anticipated by Bruck in later papers; however, he never provided a detailed formulation. We fill this gap here by developing the connections between a regular spread of (2n#1)-dimensional projective space and an n-dimensional circle geometry, which is the appropriate generalization of the Miquelian inversive plane. After developing this theory, we provide a fairly general method for constructing subregular spreads of PG(5, q). Finally, we explore a special case of this construction, which yields several examples of threedimensional subregular translation planes which are not Andre´planes.

A hyperbolic fibration is set of q -1 hyperbolic quadrics and two lines which together partition the points of PG(3, q). The classical example of a hyperbolic fibration comes from a pencil of quadrics; however, several other families are known. In this paper we construct a new family of hyperbolic f

In this paper we prove that the projections along reguli of a translation spread of the classical generalized hexagon H (q) are translation ovoids of Q(4, q). As translation ovoids of Q(4, 2 r ) are elliptic quadrics, this forces that all translation spreads of H (2 r ) are semi-classical. By repres

For a nontrivial additive character and a multiplicative character of the finite field with q elements (q is a power of an odd prime), the ''Gauss'' sum (tr w) over w3SO(2n#1, q) and (det w) (tr w) over w3O(2n#1, q) are considered. We show that both of them are constant multiples of the sum (tr w) o
