    An infinite family of (q2+q+1)(q^2+q+1)-ovoids of Q+(7,q)\mathcal{Q}^+(7,q), q≡1(mod3)q\equiv 1\pmod{3}, admitting the group PGL(3,q)\mathrm{PGL}(3,q), is constructed. The main tool is the general theory of generalized hexagons.Comment: 9 page

    Perfect 2-colorings of the grassmann graph of planes

    We construct an infinite family of intriguing sets, or equivalently perfect 2-colorings, that are not tight in the Grassmann graph of planes of PG(n, q), n ≥ 5 odd, and show that the members of the family are the smallest possible examples if n ≥ 9 or q ≥ 25

    Regular ovoids and Cameron-Liebler sets of generators in polar spaces

    Full text link
    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 non-trivial Cameron-Liebler sets of generators in polar spaces. Also regular m-ovoids of k-spaces are introduced as a generalization of m-ovoids of polar spaces. They are used in one of the aforementioned constructions of Cameron-Liebler sets
