The generating rank of the symplectic line-Grassmannian (Q1403527)

Let \(V\) be a vector space over some field \({\mathcal F}\). The projective line-Grassmannian associated to \(V\) is the point-line geometry \(\text{Gr}(V,2)\) whose points are the 2-spaces of \(V\) and whose lines are the sets of lines \(l\) such that \(p\subseteq l\subseteq u\) for some 1-space \(p\) and 3-space \(u\). A subspace \(U\) of \(V\) is called totally isotropic (t.i.) with respect to form \((.,.)\) if \((u,v)= 0\) for any two vectors \(u, v\in U\). The symplectic polar space is the point-line geometry \(M\) whose points are t.i. 1-spaces of \(V\) and whose lines are the sets of t.i. 1-spaces contained in some t.i. 2-space. The symplectic line-Grassmannian is the point-line geometry \(\Lambda\) whose points are t.i. 2-spaces and whose lines are the sets of t.i. 2-spaces \(l\) such that \(p\subseteq l\subseteq u\) for some t.i. 1-space \(p\) and t.i. 3-space \(u\). The author shows that the line-Grassmannian of the polar space associated to \(\text{Sp}_{2n}({\mathcal F})\) has generating rank \(2n^2- n-1\) when \(\text{Char}({\mathcal F})\neq 2\).
