M. Cohen} and \\textit{B. N. Cooperstein} [Geom. Dedicata 15, 73-105 (1983; Zbl 0541.51010)] characterized certain parapolar spaces of finite singular rank \\(s\\) with thick lines such that \\(\\{x,y\\}^\\perp\\) is a nondegenerate polar space of rank \\(k\\) and such that for every point-symplecton pair \\((x,S)\\) the spaces \\(x^\\perp\\cap S\\) are empty, a single point or a maximal singular subspace of \\(S\\). The present authors call this last unnatural sounding condition the 'gap phenomenon' since it postulates a gap in the spectrum of projective ranks of \\(x^\\perp\\cap S\\). Cohen and Cooperstein obtained in particular the following point-line geometries: the Grassmannians \\(A_{n,d}(D)\\) and \\(A_{2s-1,s}(D)/\\langle \\sigma \\rangle\\) where \\(D\\) is a division ring and \\(\\sigma\\) is a polarity of the underlying building of Witt index at least five, the exceptional coset geometries \\(E_{6,1}(K)\\) or \\(E_{7,1}(K)\\) where \\(K\\) is a field, and homomorphic images \\(\\Gamma/A\\) of a half-spin geometry \\(\\Gamma\\) by a subgroup \\(A\\) of Aut\\((\\Gamma)\\) such that for every element \\(\\alpha\\circ A\\) and point \\(p\\) such that \\(p\\neq p^\\alpha\\) the distance from \\(p\\) to \\(p^\\alpha\\) is at least 5.    In the paper under review the authors build on this result. They characterize a broad class of strong parapolar spaces by the properties of having all symplecta of rank at least 3, having finite singular rank, and possessing the weak hexagon property on 6-circuits in the collinearity graph of the geometry. They obtain the geometries listed above except \\(E_{6,1}(K)\\); furthermore, \\(A_{2s-1,s}(D)/\\langle \\sigma \\rangle\\) is not possible under certain weak additional assumptions. In order to prove their main theorem the authors formalize the condition in the gap phenomenon as follows.    \\((CC)_k\\) For every point \\(x\\) not in a symplecton \\(S\\) of \\(\\Gamma\\), the singular subspace \\(x^\\perp\\cap S\\) either has projective rank at most \\(k\\), or is a maximal singular subspace of \\(S\\). \\(k=0\\) is just the Cohen-Cooperstein condition. They show that \\((CC)_k\\) is satisfied in certain rather natural situations, thus establishing a perfectly natural background context for the gap. More precisely, a parapolar space \\(\\Gamma\\) satisfies \\((CC)_{k-2}\\) if for any two distinct symplecta \\(A\\) and \\(B\\) intersecting in a projective space of rank at least \\(k\\geq 3\\) and for each point \\(x\\in A\\setminus(A\\cap B)^\\perp\\) there exists a point \\(v\\in x^\\perp\\) such that \\(v^\\perp\\cap B\\) and \\(\\Gamma_3(v)\\cap A\\cap B\\) are nonempty where \\(\\Gamma_3(v)\\) is the set of all points of distance 3 from \\(v\\). (This condition is extended to \\(k=2\\) but requires an aditional assumption.) In a number of steps and under varying assumptions the authors show that \\((CC)_0\\) is satisfied and then apply the Cohen-Cooperstein theorem.","type":"string"},"datatype":"string"},"type":"statement","id":"Q1126973$84C493CA-911E-48B9-B765-E1A2AEB35452","rank":"normal"}],"P226":[{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P226","hash":"cf3fb79b0cc1d337721dbee5f9499b779a503a05","datavalue":{"value":"51B25","type":"string"},"datatype":"external-id"},"type":"statement","id":"Q1126973$45BA847B-BDEF-4BA2-85CF-0C74E21DBAD8","rank":"normal"},{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P226","hash":"1812e44d4a32fab66c9df026a619f2ada6274222","datavalue":{"value":"51A45","type":"string"},"datatype":"external-id"},"type":"statement","id":"Q1126973$82619E08-11C0-4703-841C-CAA333E1FABB","rank":"normal"}],"P1451":[{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P1451","hash":"5f5bfe26b9a487afc55eb2d0d4329dc2d19f1896","datavalue":{"value":"1185417","type":"string"},"datatype":"external-id"},"type":"statement","id":"Q1126973$0277681C-4DBF-46B7-8729-6CF77D3C9AE4","rank":"normal"}],"P1450":[{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P1450","hash":"779758a960573670b686c27f4b229ea6c11c4af6","datavalue":{"value":"Lie
