Review text

If an ovoid in the projective space \(\text{PG}(3,q)\) (\(q\) even) admits a point transitive automorphism group then it is classical, i.e. it is an elliptic quadric or a Suzuki-Tits ovoid. This result has been proved by \textit{B. Bagchi} and \textit{N. S. Narasimha Sastry}, they used linear codes [Geom. Dedicata 22, 137-147 (1987; Zbl 0609.51011)]. In the underlying paper the same result is proved by using group-theoretic tools. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0985.00021].
