Covers of generalized quadrangles, 2. Kantor-Knuth covers and embedded ovoids


الملخص بالإنكليزية

In this paper, which is a sequel to cite{part1}, we proceed with our study of covers and decomposition laws for geometries related to generalized quadrangles. In particular, we obtain a higher decomposition law for all Kantor-Knuth generalized quadrangles which generalizes one of the main results in cite{part1}. In a second part of the paper, we study the set of all Kantor-Knuth ovoids (with given parameter) in a fixed finite parabolic quadrangle, and relate this set to embeddings of parabolic quadrangles into Kantor-Knuth quadrangles. This point of view gives rise to an answer of a question posed in cite{JATSEP}.
