Abstract

Let Gk(V){\mathcal G}_k(V) be the kk-Grassmannian of a vector space VV with dimV=n\dim V=n. Given a hyperplane HH of Gk(V){\mathcal G}_k(V), we define in [I. Cardinali, L. Giuzzi, A. Pasini, A geometric approach to alternating kk-linear forms, J. Algebraic Combin. doi:10.1007/s10801-016-0730-6] a point-line subgeometry of PG(V){\mathrm{PG}}(V) called the {\it geometry of poles of HH}. In the present paper, exploiting the classification of alternating trilinear forms in low dimension, we characterize the possible geometries of poles arising for k=3k=3 and n7n\leq 7 and propose some new constructions. We also extend a result of [J.Draisma, R. Shaw, Singular lines of trilinear forms, Linear Algebra Appl. doi:10.1016/j.laa.2010.03.040] regarding the existence of line spreads of PG(5,K){\mathrm{PG}}(5,{\mathbb K}) arising from hyperplanes of G3(V).{\mathcal G}_3(V).
