Designs in finite classical polar spaces

M Kiermaier, KU Schmidt, A Wassermann - Designs, Codes and …, 2024 - Springer
Combinatorial designs have been studied for nearly 200 years. 50 years ago, Cameron,
Delsarte, and Ray-Chaudhury started investigating their q-analogs, also known as subspace …

Nontrivial t-designs in polar spaces exist for all t

C Weiß - Designs, Codes and Cryptography, 2024 - Springer
A finite classical polar space of rank n consists of the totally isotropic subspaces of a finite
vector space over F q equipped with a nondegenerate form such that n is the maximal …

On regular systems of finite classical polar spaces

A Cossidente, G Marino, F Pavese… - European Journal of …, 2022 - Elsevier
Let P be a finite classical polar space of rank d. An m-regular system with respect to (k− 1)-
dimensional projective spaces of P, 1≤ k≤ d− 1, is a set R of generators of P with the …

On Geometry and Combinatorics of Finite Classical Polar Spaces

V Smaldore - arXiv preprint arXiv:2409.11131, 2024 - arxiv.org
Polar spaces over finite fields are fundamental in combinatorial geometry. The concept of
polar space was firstly introduced by F. Veldkamp who gave a system of 10 axioms in the …

Implications of vanishing Krein parameters on Delsarte designs, with applications in finite geometry

J Bamberg, J Lansdown - arXiv preprint arXiv:2107.05207, 2021 - arxiv.org
In this paper we show that if $\theta $ is a $ T $-design of an association scheme
$(\Omega,\mathcal {R}) $, and the Krein parameters $ q_ {i, j}^ h $ vanish for some $ h\not\in …

Designs in Finite Geometry

J Lansdown - 2020 - research-repository.uwa.edu.au
This thesis is concerned with the study of Delsarte designs in symmetric association
schemes, particularly in the context of finite geometry. We construct an infinite family of …

[HTML][HTML] A generalization of the Haemers–Mathon bound for near hexagons

B De Bruyn - Discrete Applied Mathematics, 2019 - Elsevier
Abstract The Haemers–Mathon bound states that t≤ s 3+ t 2 (s 2− s+ 1) for any finite regular
near hexagon with parameters (s, t, t 2), s≥ 2. In this paper, we generalize this bound to …
