New quotients of the \(d\)-dimensional Veronesean dual hyperoval in \(\mathrm{PG}(2d + 1, 2)\) (Q378455)

Let \(\sigma, \tau \) be generators of the Galois group \(\mathrm{Gal}(\mathrm{GF}(2^{d+1})/\mathrm{GF}(2))\), with \(d>3\). The authors use \(\sigma\) and a \(d\) dimensional subspace \(H\) to construct a quotient \(S_{\sigma,H}\) of the Veronesean dual hyperoval in \(\mathrm{PG}(2d+1,2)\) when \(d\) is even. They further prove that \(S_{\sigma}\), which is the quotient of the Veronesean dual hyperplane with ambient space \(\mathrm{PG}(2d+1,q)\) constructed in earlier work, is not isomorphic to \(S_{\tau,H}\); \(S_{\sigma,H} \) is isomorphic to \(S_{\sigma,H'}\) for any \(d\)-dimensional vectors spaces \(H\) and \(H'\) of \(\mathrm{GF}(2^{d+1})\); and \(S_{\sigma,H}\) is isomorphic to \(S_{\tau,H}\) if and only if \(\sigma = \tau\) or \(\sigma = \tau^{-1}\).
