A new family of dual hyperovals in \(PG(d(d+3)/2,2)\) with \(d\geq 3\) (Q998538): Difference between revisions

A family \(\mathcal{S}\) of \(d\)-dimensional subspaces of the \(m\)-dimensional projective space \(\mathrm{PG}(m,2)\) is called a \(d\)-dimensional dual hyperoval in \(\mathrm{PG}(m,2)\) if it satisfies the following conditions: (1) any two distinct members of \(\mathcal{S}\) intersect in a projective point; (2) any three mutually distinct members of \(\mathcal{S}\) intersect trivially; (3) the members of \(\mathcal{S}\) generate \(\mathrm{PG}(m,2)\); (4) there are exactly \(2^{d+1}\) members of \(\mathcal{S}\). In the paper under review, the author constructs a family of \(d\)-dimensional dual hyperovals based on Veronesean dual hyperovals of \(\mathrm{PG}(\frac{d(d+3)}{2},2)\).
