An infinite family of $(q^2+q+1)$-ovoids of $\mathcal{Q}^+(7,q)$, $q\equiv 1\pmod{3}$, admitting the group $\mathrm{PGL}(3,q)$, is constructed. The main tool is the general theory of generalized hexagons.

We construct a family of $\frac{(q-1)}{2}$-ovoids of $Q(4,q)$, the parabolic quadric of $\textup{PG}(4,q)$, for $q\equiv 3\pmod 4$. The existence of $\frac{(q-1)}{2}$-ovoids of $Q(4,q)$ was only known for $q=3, 7,$ or $11$. Our construction…

Ovoids of the hyperbolic quadric $Q^+(7,q)$ of $\mathrm{PG}(7,q)$ have been extensively studied over the past 40 years, partly due to their connections with other combinatorial objects. It is well known that the points of an ovoid of…

In this paper we are concerned with $m$-ovoids of the symplectic polar space ${\cal W}(2n+1, q)$, $q$ even. In particular we show the existence of an elliptic quadric of ${\rm PG}(2n+1, q)$ not polarizing to ${\cal W}(2n+1, q)$ forming a…

In this paper, we construct an infinite family of $\frac{q-1}{2}$-ovoids of the generalized quadrangle $Q(4,q)$, for $q\equiv 1 (\text{mod}\ 4)$ and $q>5$. Together with the examples given by Bamberg et al. and constructions provided by…

An $m$-ovoid of a finite polar space $\mathcal{P}$ is a set $\mathcal{O}$ of points such that every maximal subspace of $\mathcal{P}$ contains exactly $m$ points of $\mathcal{O}$. In the case when $\mathcal{P}$ is an elliptic quadric…

We construct an infinite family of hyperovals on the Klein quadric $Q^+(5,q)$, $q$ even. The construction makes use of ovoids of the symplectic generalized quadrangle $W(q)$ that is associated with an elliptic quadric which arises as solid…

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…

Ovoids of the Klein quadric $Q^+(5,q)$ of $\mathrm{PG}(5,q)$ have been studied in the last 40 year, also because of their connection with spreads of $\mathrm{PG}(3,q)$ and hence translation planes. Beside the classical example given by a…

We present a description of maximal partial ovoids of size $q^2-1$ of the parabolic quadric $\q(4,q)$ as sharply transitive subsets of $\SL(2,q)$ and show their connection with spread sets. This representation leads to an elegant explicit…

In this paper, we remind previous results about the tilings $\{p,q\}$ of the hyperbolic plane. We introduce two new ways to split the hyperbolic plane in order to algorithmically construct the tilings $\{p,q\}$ when $q$ is odd.

We constuct a family of hemisystems of the parabolic quadric $\mathcal{Q}(2d, q)$, for all ranks $d \ge 2$ and all odd prime powers $q$, that admit $\Omega_3(q) \cong \mathrm{PSL}_2(q)$. This yields the first known construction for $d \ge…

The Desarguesian ovoids in the orthogonal polar space $Q^+(7,q)$ with $q$ even have first been introduced by Kantor by examining the $8$-dimensional absolutely irreducible modular representations of $\text{PGL}(2,q^3)$. We investigate this…

We prove that the parameter $x$ of a tight set $\mathcal{T}$ of a hyperbolic quadric $\mathsf{Q}^+(2n+1,q)$ of an odd rank $n+1$ satisfies ${x\choose 2}+w(w-x)\equiv 0\mod q+1$, where $w$ is the number of points of $\mathcal{T}$ in any…

In this paper, we develop a new method for constructing $m$-ovoids in the symplectic polar space $\W(2r-1,\q)$ from some strongly regular Cayley graphs in \cite{Brouwer1999Journal}. Using this method, we obtain many new $m$-ovoids which can…

Ovoids of the non-degenerate quadric Q(4,q) of PG(4,q) have been studied since the end of the '80s. They are rare objects and, beside the classical example given by an elliptic quadric, only three classes are known for q odd, one class for…

For any odd prime power q we provide a quick construction of a complete family of q(q-1) mutually orthogonal sudoku squares of order q^2.

We use the representation $T_2(O)$ for $\q(4,q)$ to show that maximal partial ovoids of $\q(4,q)$ of size $q^2-1$, $q=p^h$, $p$ odd prime, $h > 1$, do not exist. Although this was known before, we give a slightly alternative proof, also…

Ovoids in $\PG(3, \gf(q))$ have been an interesting topic in coding theory, combinatorics, and finite geometry for a long time. So far only two families of ovoids are known. The first is the elliptic quadratics and the second is the Tits…

Our main result is the construction of symmetric Hadamard matrices of order q(1 + q) where q is a prime power congruent to 3 mod 8.
