Review text

In this paper, the authors give some interesting results on polarity designs. They show that the only quasi-symmetric designs with the parameters of \(\mathrm{PG}_{2}(4,q) \) admitting a hyperplane are classical designs and the corresponding polarity design. They find the smallest value of \(n\) for which \(D=\mathrm{PG}_{d}(2d,q)\) admits a natural embedding into \(\mathrm{PG}(n,q)\) where \(q\) is any prime power, \(d\) is any integer greater than \(1\) and \(\alpha \) is the polarity design with the parameters \(D\). They also give some nice results about the bounds of geomdim\(_{q}\alpha (D)\), and give two conjectures about geometric \(q\)-dimensions.
