Review text

If \(Q\) is a generalized quadrangle of order \(s \geq 2\) having a regular point, then by a construction of Payne, a new generalized quadrangle \(P(Q,x)\) of order \((s-1,s+1)\) can be obtained. In the paper under review the authors prove that if \(Q\) is a generalized quadrangle \(Q\) of order \(s \geq 5\), \(s\) odd, with a center of symmetry \(x\), then every automorphism of \(P(Q,x)\) is induced by an automorphism of \(Q\) fixing \(x\).
