Abstract
A finite classical polar space of rank consists of the totally isotropic subspaces of a finite vector space over equipped with a nondegenerate form such that is the maximal dimension of such a subspace. A - design in a finite classical polar space of rank is a collection of totally isotropic -spaces such that each totally isotropic -space is contained in exactly members of . Nontrivial examples are currently only known for . We show that - designs in polar spaces exist for all and provided that and is sufficiently large enough. The proof is based on a probabilistic method by Kuperberg, Lovett, and Peled, and it is thus nonconstructive.
