In this paper we introduce a set of sufficient criteria for the construction of relative hemisystems of the Hermitian space $\mathrm{H}(3,q^2)$, unifying all known infinite families. We use these conditions to provide new proofs of the…

We present a new method for the study of hemisystems of the Hermitian surface $\mathcal{U}_3$ of $PG(3,q^2)$. The basic idea is to represent generator-sets of $\mathcal{U}_3$ by means of a maximal curve naturally embedded in $\mathcal{U}_3$…

In this paper, we construct an infinite family of hemisystems of the Hermitian surface $\mathsf{H}(3,q^2)$. In particular, we show that for every odd prime power $q$ congruent to $3$ modulo $4$, there exists a hemisystem of…

Finding Hemisystems is a challenging problem and just few examples arising from the Hermitian surface are known. A recent method to obtain Hemisystems is based on using maximal curves. Along this side of research, we provide new examples of…

The Hermitian Veronesean in $PG(3,q^2)$, given by $\mathcal{V}:=\{ (1,x,x^q,x^{q+1}):x\in\mathbb{F}_q\}\cup\{(0,0,0,1)\}$, is a well-studied rational curve, and forms a {\em special} set of the Hermitian surface $H(3,q^2)$. In this paper,…

In [1], a new quasi-Hermitian variety $\mathcal{H}_\varepsilon^r$ in $\mathrm{PG}(r, q^2)$, with $q = 2^e$ and $e \geq 3$ an odd integer, was constructed. The variety depends on a primitive element $\varepsilon$ of the underlying field…

In this paper we characterize the non-singular Hermitian variety ${\mathcal H}(6,q^2)$ of $\mathrm{PG}(6, q^2)$, $q\neq2$ among the irreducible hypersurfaces of degree $q+1$ in $\mathrm{PG}(6, q^2)$ not containing solids by the number of…

Let ${\cal Q}^-(2n+1,q)$ be an elliptic quadric of ${\rm PG}(2n+1,q)$. A relative $m$-ovoid of ${\cal Q}^-(2n+1,q)$ (with respect to a parablic section ${\cal Q} := {\cal Q}(2n,q) \subset {\cal Q}^-(2n+1,q)$) is a subset $\cal R$ of points…

In $PG(3,q^2)$, with $q$ odd, we determine the possible intersection sizes of a Hermitian surface $\mathcal{H}$ and an irreducible quadric $\mathcal{Q}$ having the same tangent plane $\pi$ at a common point $P\in{\mathcal Q}\cap{\mathcal…

The nonsingular Hermitian surface of degree $\sqrt{q} +1$ is characterized by its number of $\Bbb{F}_q$-points among the irreducible surfaces over $\Bbb{F}_q$ of degree $\sqrt{q} +1$ in the projective 3-space.

We introduce the notion of a relative of the Hermitian curve of degree $\sqrt{q}+1$ over $\mathbb{F}_q$, which is a plane curve defined by \[(x^{\sqrt{q}}, y^{\sqrt{q}}, z^{\sqrt{q}})A {}^t \!(x,y,z) =0\] with $A \in GL(3, \mathbb{F}_q)$,…

We generalise the work of Segre (1965), Cameron - Goethals - Seidel (1978), and Vanhove (2011) by showing that nontrivial $m$-ovoids of the dual polar spaces $DQ(2d, q)$, $DW(2d-1,q)$ and $DH(2d-1,q^2)$ ($d\ge 3$) are hemisystems. We also…

We determine the possible intersection sizes of a Hermitian surface $\mathcal H$ with an irreducible quadric of ${\mathrm PG}(3,q^2)$ sharing at least a tangent plane at a common non-singular point when $q$ is even.

It is proved, that if an almost Hermitian manifold satisfies the axiom of coholomorphic spheres, it is conformal flat.

The complete classification of the orbits on subspaces under the action of the projective stabiliser of (classical) algebraic varieties is a challenging task, and few classifications are complete. We focus on a particular action of…

In [A. Aguglia, A. Cossidente, G. Korchmaros, "On quasi-Hermitian varieties", J. Comb. Des. 20 (2012), 433-447] new quasi-Hermitian varieties ${\mathcal M}_{\alpha,\beta}$ in $\mathrm{PG}(r,q^2)$ depending on a pair of parameters…

A three-dimensional orbifold $(\Sigma, \gamma_i, n_i)$, where $\Sigma$ is a rational homology sphere, has a universal abelian orbifold covering, whose covering group is the first orbifold homology. A singular pair $(X,C)$, where $X$ is a…

The axiom of {\theta}-holomorphic 2-planes is introduced. It is proved, that if an almost Hermitian manifold satisfies this axiom for a fixed {\theta}, 0< {\theta}< {\pi}/2, then it is a real space form.

Let M be an almost Hermitian manifold of dimension greater or equal to 6. The following theorems are proved: Theorem 1. If M is of pointwise constant {\theta}-holomorphic sectional curvature for a number {\theta} in (0,{\pi}/2) then M is of…

An $m$-$cover$ of lines of a finite projective space ${\rm PG}(r,q)$ (of a finite polar space $\cal P$) is a set of lines $\cal L$ of ${\rm PG}(r,q)$ (of $\cal P$) such that every point of ${\rm PG}(r,q)$ (of $\cal P$) contains $m$ lines of…
