Abstract

Orthogonal spreads in orthogonal spaces of type V+(2n+2,2)V^+(2n+2,2) produce large numbers of rank nn dual hyperovals in orthogonal spaces of type V+(2n,2)V^+(2n,2). The construction resembles the method for obtaining symplectic spreads in V(2n,q)V(2n,q) from orthogonal spreads in V+(2n+2,q)V^+(2n+2,q) when qq is even.
