On line-parallelisms of PG(3, q)
Abstract
Let denote the three-dimensional projective space over the finite field with elements. A line-spread of is a collection of mutually skew lines such that every point of lies on exactly one line of . A parallelism of is a set of mutually skew line-spreads of such that every line of is contained in precisely one line-spread of . For a Desarguesian spread and an elementary abelian group of order that stabilizes and one of its lines, let be the class of parallelisms of admitting , and comprising and Hall spreads, each of which is obtained by switching one of the reguli of through its -fixed line. In this paper, the parallelisms in are characterized geometrically and enumerated. Moreover, it is shown that contains at least mutually inequivalent parallelisms for even, and at least mutually inequivalent parallelisms when is odd.
