Review text

All locally subquadrangular hyperplanes of finite symplectic and Hermitian dual polar spaces were classified with the aid of counting arguments and divisibility properties of integers by \textit{A. Pasini} and \textit{S. Shpectorov} in [J. Comb. Theory, Ser. A 94, No.~2, 276--288 (2001; Zbl 0989.51008)]. In this article the above classification is extended to the infinite case. It is proven that symplectic dual polar spaces and certain Hermitian dual polar spaces cannot have locally subquadrangular hyperplanes if their rank is at least three and their lines contain more than three points.
