Abstract: Cameron-Liebler sets were originally defined as collections of lines (`line classes') in $mathrmPG(3,q)$ sharing certain properties with line classes of symmetric tactical decompositions. While there are many equivalent characterisations, these objects are defined as sets of lines whose characteristic vector lies in the image of the transpose of the point-line incidence matrix of $mathrmPG(3,q)$, and so combinatorially they behave like a union of pairwise disjoint point-pencils. Recently, the concept of a Cameron-Liebler set has been generalised to several other settings. In this article we introduce Cameron-Liebler sets of generators in finite classical polar spaces. For each of the polar spaces we give a list of characterisations that mirrors those for Cameron-Liebler line sets, and also prove some classification results.

Review text

In $\mathrm{PG}(3, q)$, a Cameron-Liebler line class $\mathcal L$ with parameter $x$ is a set of lines such that any line $\ell \in \mathcal L$ is disjoint to $(x-1)q^2$ lines of $\mathcal L$ and any line $\ell\notin \mathcal L$ is disjoint to $xq^2$ lines of $\mathcal L$. The set of lines through a point and the set of lines in a plane are examples of a Cameron-Liebler line class with $x = 1$. Other values of $x$ for which there are trivial examples of a Cameron-Liebler line classes are $x =2, q^2, q^2-1$. The central problem for Cameron-Liebler classes is to determine for which parameters $x$ a Cameron-Liebler class exists, and to classify the examples admitting a given parameter $x$. Recently, the concept of Cameron-Liebler line classes has been generalized to many other contexts in which the same central problem arises. In this paper, the authors introduce Cameron-Liebler sets of generators in polar spaces. For each of the polar spaces, they give a list of characterizations (Section 3) and prove some classification results (Section 6).
