Affine vector space partitions and spreads of quadrics
Somi Gupta, Francesco Pavese
An affine spread is a set of subspaces of of the same dimension that partitions the points of . Equivalently, an {\em affine spread} is a set…
An infinite family of -ovoids of the hyperbolic quadrics
Francesco Pavese, Hanlin Zou
An infinite family of -ovoids of , , admitting the group , is constructed. The main tool is the general theory…
On 4-general sets in finite projective spaces
Francesco Pavese
A -general set in is a set of points of spanning the whole and such that no four of them are on a plane. Such a pointset is said…
On the geometry of the Hermitian Veronese curve and its quasi-Hermitian surfaces
Michel Lavrauw, Stefano Lia, Francesco Pavese
The complete classification of the orbits on subspaces under the action of the projective stabiliser of (classical) algebraic varieties is a challenging task, and few classificatio…

The -ovoids of
Michela Ceria, Francesco Pavese
In this paper we are concerned with -ovoids of the symplectic polar space , even. In particular we show the existence of an elliptic quadric of ${\rm PG}(…
