Finite subunitals of the Hermitian unitals

Abstract

Every finite subunital of any generalized hermitian unital is itself a hermitian unital; the embedding is given by an embedding of quadratic field extensions. In particular, a generalized hermitian unital with a finite subunital is a hermitian one (i.e., it originates from a separable field extension).
