Structure of the fibrations of a class of finite generalized André planes of order \(q^{t+1}\) (Q1864682)

Every finite generalized André plane is associated with a spread \(F'\) of the projective space \(PG(2t+1,q)\), which is obtained from a regular spread \(F\) by replacing in a switching set \(U\) some of the subspaces of \(F\). The construction of \(U\) is realized by an appropriately chosen set \(A\) of non-identical automorphisms. The irreducible components of \(U\) are characterized when \(U\) is realized by a set \(A\) consisting of two automorphisms. It is proved that such switching sets are only of two types, and a constructive rule which is a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of both types is established. The structure of the spread \(F'\) associated with any finite generalized André plane such that card\((A)=2\) is determined.
