Review text

The authors classify ovoids in orthogonal spaces \(O_5(9)\), \(O_5(11)\). They prove that: (1) \(O_5(9)\) contains the unique nonclassical ovoid up to isomorphism. (2) All ovoids in \(O_5(11)\) are classical. As an immediate conclusion from (2), they show that there are no ovoids in \(O_7(11)\). Besides, they show that any ovoid, containing an irreducible conic in \(O_5(13)\), is classical. To prove these results they use a recursive algorithm earlier described by Gunawardena.
