Abstract: Let $pi$ be an order-$q$-subplane of $PG(2,q^3)$ that is exterior to $el{l}_{i}nfty$. The exterior splash of $pi$ is the set of $q^2+q+1$ points on $el{l}_{i}nfty$ that lie on an extended line of $pi$. Exterior splashes are projectively equivalent to scattered linear sets of rank 3, covers of the circle geometry $CG(3,q)$, and hyper-reguli of $PG(5,q)$. In this article we use the Bruck-Bose representation in $PG(6,q)$ to give a geometric characterisation of special conics of $pi$ in terms of the covers of the exterior splash of $pi$. We also investigate properties of order-$q$-subplanes with a common exterior splash, and study the intersection of two exterior splashes.

Review text

The plane \(\pi\) is an exterior order \(q\)-subplane of \(\mathrm{PG}(2,q^3)\) if it is exterior to a line \(\ell_\infty\). The lines of \(\pi\) meet \(\ell_\infty\) in a set of size \(q^2+q+1\) which is called the exterior splash of \(\pi\) on \(\ell_\infty.\) They are projectively equivalent to scattered linear sets of rank 3, covers of the circle geometry \(\mathrm{CG}(3,q)\), and hyper reguli of \(\mathrm{PG}(5,q).\) The authors use the Bruck-Bose representation in \(\mathrm{PG}(6,q)\) to give a geometric characterization of carrier conics. Specifically, they show that the carrier conics in an exterior order \(q\)-subplane of \(\mathrm{PG}(2,q^3)\) correspond exactly to the \(X\)-special twisted cubics in \(\mathrm{PG}(6,q)\) where \(X\) is a cover of the exterior splash. Additionally, they study properties of subplanes of order \(q\) with a common exterior splash and the intersection of two exterior splashes.
