Equivalent definitions for (degree one) Cameron-Liebler classes of generators in finite classical polar spaces

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 are defined similar to the Boolean degree one functions, [15]. We summarize the equivalent definitions for these sets and give a classification result for the degree one Cameron-Liebler sets in the polar spaces W(5,q) and Q(6,q)

Cameron-Liebler sets of k-spaces in PG(n,q)

Cameron-Liebler sets of k-spaces were introduced recently by Y. Filmus and F. Ihringer. We list several equivalent definitions for these Cameron-Liebler sets, by making a generalization of known results about Cameron-Liebler line sets in PG(n, q) and Cameron-Liebler sets of k-spaces in PG(2k + 1, q). We also present a classification result

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

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

Cameron-Liebler sets of k-spaces in PG(n,q)

Cameron-Liebler sets of k-spaces were introduced recently by Y. Filmus and F. Ihringer. We list several equivalent definitions for these Cameron-Liebler sets, by making a generalization of known results about Cameron-Liebler line sets in PG(n, q) and Cameron-Liebler sets of k-spaces in PG(2k + 1, q). We also present a classification result

Cameron-Liebler sets of k-spaces in PG(n,q)

Cameron-Liebler sets of k-spaces were introduced recently in Filmus and Ihringer (J Combin Theory Ser A, 2019). We list several equivalent definitions for these Cameron-Liebler sets, by making a generalization of known results about Cameron-Liebler line sets in PG(n,q) and Cameron-Liebler sets of k-spaces in PG(2k+1,q). We also present some classification results

A combinatorial characterisation of embedded polar spaces

Some classical polar spaces admit polar spaces of the same rank as embedded polar spaces (often arisen as the intersection of the polar space with a non-tangent hyperplane). In this article we look at sets of generators that behave combinatorially as the set of generators of such an embedded polar space, and we prove that they are the set of generators of an embedded polar space

On the smallest non-trivial tight sets in Hermitian polar spaces

We show that an x-tight set of the Hermitian polar spaces H(4; q(2)) and H(6; q(2)) respectively, is the union of x disjoint generators of the polar space provided that x is small compared to q. For H(4; q(2)) we need the bound x < q + 1 and we can show that this bound is sharp

Cameron-Liebler sets for maximal totally isotropic flats in classical affine spaces

Let $ACG(2\nu,\mathbb{F}_q)$ be the $2\nu$-dimensional classical affine space with parameter $e$ over a $q$-element finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$, and ${\cal O}_{\nu}$ be the set of all maximal totally isotropic flats in $ACG(2\nu,\mathbb{F}_q)$. In this paper, we discuss Cameron-Liebler sets in ${\cal O}_{\nu}$, obtain several equivalent definitions and present some classification results.Comment: 25 page
