Review text

This paper provides a very nice sequel to the recent results of \textit{S. Innamorati} et al. [J. Geom. 111, No. 2, Paper No. 26, 6 p. (2020; Zbl 1441.51003)]. In the latter, the authors prove that a set \(K\) of \(k\) points in \(\mathrm{PG}(3,q)\) such that planes intersect in either \(0\), \(mq\) or \(2mq\) points (and all occur; such sets are called of type \((0,mq,2mq)_2\)), for some natural number \(m\), have precisely \(k=mq^2\) points, with \(m\) a proper divisor of \(q\). They also provide some examples. In the current paper, the author finds some additional examples and moreover characterizes the known examples with an additional condition. Here are the two theorems of the paper: The first theorem says that, if a \(k\)-set of type \((0,mq,2mq)_2\) in \(\mathrm{PG}(3,q)\), \(q>2\), intersects at least one line in \(q\) points, then it is one of the known examples, more exactly, it is a cylinder over a planar set of \(mq\) points intersecting an arbitrary line (belonging to the plane of the set) in either \(0\), \(m\) or \(2m\) points. (A cylinder is a cone without its vertex). The second theorem says that, if a \(k\)-set \(K\) of type \((0,mq,2mq)_2\) in \(\mathrm{PG}(3,q)\), \(q>2\), intersects every line in either \(0\), \(m\) or \(2m\) points, then \(m=q/2\) (hence \(q\) is even) and \(K\) is a cylinder over a planar partial line pencil, minus its vertex, consisting of precisely \(m\) lines.
