Twisted hyperbolic flocks

Norman L. Johnson

Vol. 19 (2021-2022), No. 1, 1–23
Abstract

We give a generalization of the theory of flocks of hyperbolic quadrics in PG(3,q) to what is called an α-twisted hyperbolic flock in an arbitrary 3-dimensional projective space over a field K. We obtain an equivalence between a set of translation planes with spreads in PG(3,K) that admit affine homology groups such that the axis and coaxis and one orbit is a twisted regulus. Examples and generalizations are also given.

Keywords
hyperbolic flock, twisted hyperbolic flock, derivable net-inducing groups
