Review text

In these conference proceedings, the authors provide a summary of recent results concerning linear blocking sets in a finite desarguesian projective plane, \(\pi\). With a few exceptions, it has been established that all small minimal blocking sets of Rédei type in \(\pi\) are linear, and there are examples of non-Rédei type in \(PG(2,q^t)\), for \(t\geq 4\). They also present the known examples of linear blocking sets of minimum and maximum size. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0959.00027].
