Cameron-Liebler sets were originally defined as collections of lines (`line classes') in $\mathrm{PG}(3,q)$ sharing certain properties with line classes of symmetric tactical decompositions. While there are many equivalent…
In this article, we study degree one Cameron-Liebler sets of generators in all finite classical polar spaces, which is a particular type of a Cameron-Liebler set of generators in this polar space, [9]. These degree one Cameron-Liebler sets…
Let $\cal P$ be a finite classical polar space of rank $d$. An $m$-regular system with respect to $(k - 1)$-dimensional projective spaces of $\cal P$, $1 \le k \le d - 1$, is a set $\cal R$ of generators of $\cal P$ with the property that…
We introduce generator blocking sets of finite classical polar spaces. These sets are a generalisation of maximal partial spreads. We prove a characterization of these minimal sets of the polar spaces Q(2n,q), Q-(2n+1,q) and H(2n,q^2), in…
We consider various regular graphs defined on the set of elements of given rank of a finite polar space. It is likely that no two such graphs, of the same kind but defined for different ranks, can have the same degree. We shall prove this…
Cameron-Liebler line classes were introduced in \cite{CL}, and motivated by a question about orbits of collineation groups of $\PG(3,q)$. These line classes have appeared in different contexts under disguised names such as Boolean degree…
New examples of Cameron-Liebler line classes in $\mathrm{PG}(3,q)$ are given with parameter $\frac{1}{2}(q^2 -1)$. These examples have been constructed for many odd values of $q$ using a computer search, by forming a union of line orbits…
Cameron-Liebler sets of generators in polar spaces were introduced a few years ago as natural generalisations of the Cameron-Liebler sets of subspaces in projective spaces. In this article we present the first two constructions of…
New families of Cameron-Liebler line classes of ${\rm PG}(3,q)$, $q\ge 7$ odd, with parameter $(q^2+1)/2$ are constructed.
In this paper we propose a definition of regularity suited for polar spaces of infinite rank and we investigate to which extent properties of regular polar spaces of finite rank can be generalized to polar spaces of infinite rank.
We investigate Cameron-Liebler sets of planes in the Klein quadric $Q^+(5,q)$ in PG$(5,q)$. We prove that there are many examples of such Cameron-Liebler sets of planes in the Klein quadric. More specifically, we provide an incomplete list…
In this paper, we give an algebraic construction of a new infinite family of Cameron-Liebler line classes with parameter $x=\frac{q^2-1}{2}$ for $q\equiv 5$ or $9\pmod{12}$, which generalizes the examples found by Rodgers in \cite{rodgers}…
In this paper, we describe a new infinite family of $\frac{q^{2}-1}{2}$-tight sets in the hyperbolic quadrics $\mathcal{Q}^{+}(5,q)$, for $q \equiv 5 \mbox{ or } 9 \bmod{12}$. Under the Klein correspondence, these correspond to…
The rank of a point-line geometry G is usually defined as the generating rank of G, namely the minimal cardinality of a generating set. However, when the subspace lattice of G satisfies the Exchange Property we can also try a different…
A finite classical polar space of rank $n$ consists of the totally isotropic subspaces of a finite vector space over $\mathbb{F}_q$ equipped with a nondegenerate form such that $n$ is the maximal dimension of such a subspace. A…
We construct a new infinite family of Cameron-Liebler line classes in $PG(3,q)$ with parameter $x=\frac{q^2+1}{2}$ for all odd $q$.
In this paper we describe an infinite family of Cameron-Liebler line classes of ${\rm PG}(3,q)$ with parameter $(q^2 + 1)/2$, $q\equiv 1\pmod{4}$. The example obtained admits ${\rm PGL}(2,q)$ as an automorphism group and it is shown to be…
Given a polarization of an even unimodular lattice and integer $k\ge 1$, we define a family of unimodular lattices $L(M,N,k)$. Of special interest are certain $L(M,N,3)$ of rank 72. Their minimum norms lie in $\{4, 6, 8\}$. Norms 4 and 6 do…
In this paper, we construct intriguing sets in five classes of strongly regular graphs defined on nonisotropic points of finite classical polar spaces, and determine their intersection numbers.
In the projective space $\mathrm{PG}(3,q)$, we consider orbits of lines under the stabilizer group of the twisted cubic. In the literature, lines of $\mathrm{PG}(3,q)$ are partitioned into classes, each of which is a union of line orbits.…
