Automorphisms of (affine) SL$(2,q)$-unitals

Verena Möhler

Vol. 19 (2021-2022), No. 1, 25–39
DOI: 10.2140/iig.2022.19.25
Abstract

SL((2,q)-unitals are unitals of order q admitting a regular action of SL((2,q) on the complement of some block. They can be obtained from affine SL((2,q)-unitals via parallelisms. We compute a sharp upper bound for automorphism groups of affine SL((2,q)-unitals and show that exactly two parallelisms are fixed by all automorphisms. In nonclassical SL((2,q)-unitals obtained as closures of affine SL((2,q)-unitals via those two parallelisms, we show that there is one block fixed under the full automorphism group.
