Classification of spreads of Tits quadrangles of order 64

Combinatorics 2023-05-08 v1

Abstract

Brown et al. provide a representation of a spread of the Tits quadrangle T2(O)T_2(\mathcal O), O\mathcal O an oval of PG(2,q)\mathrm PG(2,q), qq even, in terms of a certain family of qq ovals of PG(2,q)\mathrm PG(2,q). By combining this representation with the Vandendriessche classification of hyperovals in PG(2,64)\mathrm PG(2,64) and the classification of flocks of the quadratic cone in PG(3,64)\mathrm PG(3,64), recently given by the authors, in this paper, we classify all the spreads of T2(O)T_2(\mathcal O), O\mathcal O an oval of PG(2,64)\mathrm PG(2,64), up to equivalence. These complete the classification of spreads of T2(O)T_2(\mathcal O) for q64q\le 64.
