Abstract

Let P\cal P be a finite classical polar space of rank dd. An mm-regular system with respect to (k1)(k - 1)-dimensional projective spaces of P\cal P, 1kd11 \le k \le d - 1, is a set R\cal R of generators of P\cal P with the property that every (k1)(k - 1)-dimensional projective space of P\cal P lies on exactly mm generators of R\cal R. Regular systems of polar spaces are investigated. Some non-existence results about certain 1-regular systems of polar spaces with low rank are proved and a procedure to obtain mm'-regular systems from a given mm-regular system is described. Finally, three different construction methods of regular systems w.r.t. points of various polar spaces are discussed.
