An infinite family of hyperovals of , even
We construct an infinite family of hyperovals on the Klein quadric
, even. The construction makes use of ovoids of the symplectic
generalized quadrangle that is associated with an elliptic quadric which
arises as solid intersection with . We also solve the isomorphism
problem: we determine necessary and sufficient conditions for two hyperovals
arising from the construction to be isomorphic
The homogeneous pseudo-embeddings and hyperovals of the generalized quadrangle H(3,4)
In this paper, we determine all homogeneous pseudo-embeddings of the generalized quadrangle H(3, 4) and give a description of all its even sets. Using this description, we subsequently compute all hyperovals of H(3, 4), up to isomorphism, and give computer free descriptions of them. Several of these hyperovals, but not all of them, have already been described before in the literature. (C) 2020 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved
Q(sqrt(-3))-Integral Points on a Mordell Curve
We use an extension of quadratic Chabauty to number fields,recently developed by the author with Balakrishnan, Besser and M ̈uller,combined with a sieving technique, to determine the integral points overQ(√−3) on the Mordell curve y2 = x3 − 4
