"Generalized quadrangles and applications" Leo Strome will give an introduction to finite generalized quadrangles, embedded in finite geometries, and applications to graph theory and coding theory.
We start with an introduction to finite geometry, discuss the polarities and the corresponding finite classical polar spaces. We then introduce finite generalized quadrangles and present the finite classical generalized quadrangles as being the finite classical polar spaces of rank two.
The finite generalized quadrangles are first of all investigated because of their geometrical interest. But they are also of interest for other research domains. We present applications in graph theory, and we also discuss linear codes defined by finite generalized quadrangles.
Lectures will be read every two weeks on
Tuesdays starting
