Abstract
We consider the cyclic presentation of whose points are in the finite field and describe the known ovoids therein. We revisit the set , consisting of -th roots of unity in , and prove that it forms an elliptic quadric within the cyclic presentation of . Additionally, following the work of Glauberman on Suzuki groups, we offer a new description of Suzuki-Tits ovoids in the cyclic presentation of , characterizing them as the zeroes of a polynomial over .
