英文摘要：

In a recent paper [M], Mathon gives a new construction of maximal arcs which generalizes the construction of Denniston. In relation to this construction, Mathon asks the question of determining the largest degree of a non-Denniston maximal arc arising from his new construction. In this paper, we give a nearly complete answer to this problem. Specifically, we prove that when $m\geq 5$ and $m\neq 9$, the largest $d$ of a non-Denniston maximal arc of degree $2^d$ in PG(2,2^m) generated by a {p,1}-map is $(\floor {m/2} +1)$. This confirms our conjecture in [FLX]. For {p,q}-maps, we prove that if $m\geq 7$ and $m\neq 9$, then the largest $d$ of a non-Denniston maximal arc of degree $2^d$ in PG(2,2^m) generated by a {p,q}-map is either $\floor {m/2} +1$ or $\floor{m/2} +2$.

A geometric approach to Mathon maximal arcs

In 1969 Denniston gave a construction of maximal arcs of degree d in Desarguesian projective planes of even order q, for all d dividing q. In 2002 Mathon gave a construction method generalizing the one of Denniston. We will give a new geometric approach to these maximal arcs. This will allow us to count the number of isomorphism classes of Mathon maximal arcs of degree 8 in PG(2,2^h), h prime.

Singer 8-arcs of Mathon type in PG(2,2^7)

In a former paper the authors counted the number of non-isomorphic Mathon maximal arcs of degree 8 in PG(2,2^h), h not 7 and prime. In this paper we will show that in PG(2,2^7) a special class of Mathon maximal arcs of degree 8 arises which admits a Singer group (i.e. a sharply transitive group) on the 7 conics of these arcs. We will give a detailed description of these arcs, and then count the total number of non-isomorphic Mathon maximal arcs of degree 8. Finally we show that the special arcs found in PG(2,2^7) extend to two infinite families of Mathon arcs of degree 8 in PG(2,2^k), k odd an…

Partial flocks of the quadratic cone yielding Mathon maximal arcs

N. Hamilton and J. A. Thas describe a link between maximal arcs of Mathon type and partial flocks of the quadratic cone. This link is of a rather algebraic nature. In this paper we establish a geometric connection between these two structures. We also define a composition on the flock planes and use this to work out an analogue of the synthetic version of Mathon's Theorem. Finally, we show how it is possible to construct a maximal arc of Mathon type of degree 2d, containing a Denniston arc of degree d provided that there is a solution to a certain given system of trace conditions.

An algorithm for constructing some maximal arcs in $\PG(2,q^2)$

In 1974, J. Thas constructed a new class of maximal arcs for the Desarguesian plane of order $q^2$. The construction relied upon the existence of a regular spread of tangent lines to an ovoid in $\PG(3,q)$ and, in particular, it does apply to the Suzuki--Tits ovoid. In this paper, we describe an algorithm for obtaining a possible representation of such arcs in $\PG(2,q^2)$.

On partial geometries arising from maximal arcs

The subject of this paper are partial geometries $pg(s,t,α)$ with parameters $s=d(d'-1), \ t=d'(d-1), \ α=(d-1)(d'-1)$, $d, d' \ge 2$. In all known examples, $q=dd'$ is a power of 2 and the partial geometry arises from a maximal arc of degree $d$ or $d'$ in a projective plane of order $q$ via a known construction due to Thas \cite{Thas73} and Wallis \cite{W}, with a single known exception of a partial geometry $pg(4,6,3)$ found by Mathon \cite{Math} that is not associated with a maximal arc in the projective plane of order 8. A parallel class of lines is a set of pairwise disjoint lines that c…

Counting Arcs in Projective Planes via Glynn's Algorithm

An $n$-arc in a projective plane is a collection of $n$ distinct points in the plane, no three of which lie on a line. Formulas counting the number of $n$-arcs in any finite projective plane of order $q$ are known for $n \le 8$. In 1995, Iampolskaia, Skorobogatov, and Sorokin counted $9$-arcs in the projective plane over a finite field of order $q$ and showed that this count is a quasipolynomial function of $q$. We present a formula for the number of $9$-arcs in any projective plane of order $q$, even those that are non-Desarguesian, deriving Iampolskaia, Skorobogatov, and Sorokin's formula as…

Elation KM-arcs

In this paper, we study KM-arcs in $PG(2, q)$, the Desarguesian projective plane of order $q$. A KM-arc A of type $t$ is a natural generalisation of a hyperoval: it is a set of $q + t$ points in $PG(2, q)$ such that every line of $PG(2,q)$ meets A in $0,2$ or $t$ points. We study a particular class of KM-arcs, namely, elation KM-arcs. These KM-arcs are highly symmetrical and moreover, many of the known examples are elation KM-arcs. We provide an algebraic framework and show that all elation KM-arcs of type $q/4$ in $PG(2,q)$ are translation KM-arcs. Using a result of [2], this concludes the cl…

Algebraic curves and Maximal arcs

A lower bound on the minimum degree of the plane algebraic curves containing every point in a large point-set $K$ of the Desarguesian plane $PG(2,q)$ is obtained. The case where $K$ is a maximal $(k,n)$-arc is considered to greater extent.

Pseudo-ovals in even characteristic and ovoidal Laguerre planes

Pseudo-arcs are the higher dimensional analogues of arcs in a projective plane: a pseudo-arc is a set $\mathcal{A}$ of $(n-1)$-spaces in $\mathrm{PG}(3n-1,q)$ such that any three span the whole space. Pseudo-arcs of size $q^n+1$ are called pseudo-ovals, while pseudo-arcs of size $q^n+2$ are called pseudo-hyperovals. A pseudo-arc is called elementary if it arises from applying field reduction to an arc in $\mathrm{PG}(2,q^n)$. We explain the connection between dual pseudo-ovals and elation Laguerre planes and show that an elation Laguerre plane is ovoidal if and only if it arises from an elemen…

Transitive A_6-invariant k-arcs in PG(2,q)

For $q=p^r$ with a prime $p\ge 7$ such that $q \equiv 1$ or $19\pmod {30},$ the desarguesian projective plane $PG(2,q)$ of order $q$ has a unique conjugacy class of projectivity groups isomorphic to the alternating group $A_6$ of degree 6. For a projectivity group $Γ\cong A_6$ of $PG(2,q)$, we investigate the geometric properties of the (unique) $Γ$-orbit $\mathcal{O}$ of size 90 such that the 1-point stabilizer of $Γ$ in $\mathcal O$ is a cyclic group of order 4. Here $\mathcal O$ lies either in $PG(2,q)$ or in $PG(2,q^2)$ according as 3 is a square or a non-square element in $GF(q)$. We show…

Exending pseudo-arcs in odd characteristic

A {\em pseudo-arc} in $\mathrm{PG}(3n-1,q)$ is a set of $(n-1)$-spaces such that any three of them span the whole space. A pseudo-arc of size $q^n+1$ is a {\em pseudo-oval}. If a pseudo-oval $\mathcal{O}$ is obtained by applying field reduction to a conic in $\mathrm{PG}(2,q^n)$, then $\mathcal{O}$ is called a {\em pseudo-conic}. We first explain the connection of (pseudo-)arcs with Laguerre planes, orthogonal arrays and generalised quadrangles. In particular, we prove that the Ahrens-Szekeres GQ is obtained from a $q$-arc in $\mathrm{PG}(2,q)$ and we extend this construction to that of a GQ o…
