A characterization of the family of secant lines to a hyperbolic quadric in PG(3,q), q odd

Abstract: We give a combinatorial characterization of the family of lines of PG(3, q), q ≥ 7 odd, which meet a hyperbolic quadric in two points (the so called secant lines) using their intersection properties with the points and planes of PG(3, q).

“…The authors of [13] studied line sets in PG(3, q) that satisfy a list of axioms. Their main theorem states that for q ≥ 7 each such line set is either the set of secant lines with respect to a hyperbolic quadric or belongs to a hypothetical family of line sets.…”

“…Their main theorem states that for q ≥ 7 each such line set is either the set of secant lines with respect to a hyperbolic quadric or belongs to a hypothetical family of line sets. The question whether this hypothetical family of line sets is nonempty was left open in [13]. Further investigations showed that these line sets are related to quadratic sets of the Klein quadric, see [10].…”

“…A characterization of the family of external lines to a hyperbolic quadric in PG(3, q) was given in [4] for all q (also see [6] for a different characterization in terms of a point-subset of the Klein quadric in PG (5, q)). In a recent paper [8], a characterization of secant lines to a hyperbolic quadric is given for all odd q, q ≥ 7. In this paper, we give a characterization of the family of planes meeting a hyperbolic quadric in PG (3, q) in an irreducible conic.…”
