The combinatorics of the generalized and extended symmetric spaces of $\operatorname{SO}(3,\mathbb{F}_q)$

Vol. 17 (2024), No. 5, 753–769
Abstract

We provide a count for the size of both the generalized and extended symmetric spaces of SO (3, 𝔽q) for all involutions when the characteristic is not equal to 2. In addition we explicitly describe the elements in the extended symmetric space and the fixed point group for both involutions.

Keywords
generalized symmetric space, special orthogonal group, finite fields
