Review text

Let \(Q(6,q)\) be a nondegenerate parabolic polar space in \(PG(6,q)\). Define the following graph \(\Gamma(q)\): the vertices of \(\Gamma(q)\) are all non-degenerate elliptic quadrics \(Q^-(5,q)\subset Q(6,q)\) and two vertices are adjacent provided the corresponding elliptic quadrics intersect in a tangent 4-space, that is, a cone \(pQ^-(3,q)\). Theorem. The full automorphism group of \(\Gamma(q)\), \(q>2\), is isomorphic \(P\Gamma O(7,q)\).
