A generalized quadrangle with an automorphism group acting regularly on the points (Q866519)

The author shows that there is no finite generalized quadrangle of order \((t^2,t)\) with an automorphism group acting sharply transitively on the points; this improves results of \textit{D. Ghinelli} [Geom. Dedicata 41, 165--174 (1992; Zbl 0746.51011)]. The proof uses the characterization of the Suzuki groups as the only nonabelian finite simple groups with order not divisible by \(3\).
