The Lectorium on Algebraic Graph Theory begins the autumn semester of 2021 with a course by Leo Storme

The mini-course "Generalized Quadrangles and Their Applications" will cover the basics of finite generalized quadrangles embedded in finite geometry and applications to graph theory and coding theory. We will start with an introduction to finite geometry, discussing polarities and the corresponding finite classical polar spaces. We then introduce finite generalized quadrangles and represent finite classical generalized quadrangles as finite classical polar spaces of rank two.
Finite generalized quadrangles are studied primarily because of their geometric interest. But they are also of interest for other areas of research. We will consider their applications in graph theory, and also discuss linear codes defined by finite generalized quadrangles.

Lectures will be read on Tuesdays: October 2, October 19 and November 2 at 6 pm (UTC+7) in English. You can find a link for connection and detailed information on the lectorium website
