Review text

Intersections of the Hermitian variety in \({\mathbb P}^m({\mathbb F}_{q^2})\) with hypersurfaces of degree \(d\) have been extensively studied. It is a conjecture by \textit{F. A. B. Edoukou} [Des. Codes Cryptography 50, No. 1, 135--146 (2009; Zbl 1247.05046)] that the size of the intersection of the Hermitian hypersurface of \({\mathbb P}^4({\mathbb F}_{q^2})\) with a hypersurface of degree \(d\) has size at most \(d(q^5+q^2)+q^3+1\) and the upper bound is attained when the hypersurface splits into \(d\) non-tangent hyperplanes through a common plane meeting the Hermitian hypersurface in a classical unital. In the paper under review the authors prove this conjecture for \(d=3\) and all \(q\geq 7\).
