A new construction of the \(d\)-dimensional Buratti-Del Fra dual hyperoval





A \(d\)-dimensional dual hyperoval over a field \(F_q\) is a collection of subspaces of a vector space such that each subspace has dimension \(d+1\), any two subspaces has a one dimensional intersection, any three subspaces have a trivial intersection and it consists of \(((q^n-1)/(q-1)) +1 \) members. The Buratti-Del Fra dual hyperoval is one of the four known infinite families of simply connection \(d\)-dimensional dual hyperovals over the binary field with ambient space of dimension \((d+1)(d+2)/2.\)NEWLINENEWLINENEWLINEThe authors give formula for \(d\)-dimensional dual hyperovals to be covered by the Buratti-Del Fra dual hyperoval and use this to give a description of this dual hyperoval. They give conditions for a collection of \((d+1)\) dimensional subspaces of \(K \oplus K\) constructed from a symmetric bilinear form on \(K\), which is isomorphic to \(F_{2^{d+1}}\), to be a quotient of this hyperoval. They end with five open questions on dual hyperovals.
