Weighted Intriguing Sets in Finite Polar Spaces

Combinatorics 2015-09-17 v2

Abstract

We provide new proofs for the non-existence of ovoids in hyperbolic spaces of rank at least four in even characteristic, and for the Hermitian polar space H(5,4)\mathsf{H}(5, 4). We also improve the results of A. Klein on the non-existence of ovoids of Hermitian spaces and hyperbolic quadrics.
