A combinatorial characterization of resolvable Steiner 2-(v, k, 1) designs embeddable as maximal arcs in a projective plane of order $$(v-k)/(k-1)$$(v-k)/(k-1) is proved, and a generalization of a conjecture by Andries Brouwer (Geometries and groups, Springer, Heidelberg, 1981) is formulated.

### Maximal Arcs, Codes, and New Links Between Projective Planes of Order 16

The classification shows that some designs associated with maximal arcs in nonisomorphic planes generate equivalent codes, and this phenomenon establishes new links between several of the known planes.

Abstract The resolutions and maximal sets of compatible resolutions of all 2-(120,8,1) designs arising from maximal (120,8)-arcs, and the 2-(52,4,1) designs arising from previously known maximal

The classification of unitals with parameters 2-(28, 4, 1) according to the 2-rank of their incidence matrices was initiated by McGuire, Tonchev and Ward, who proved that the 2-rank of any unital on

### Maximal arcs and disjoint maximal arcs in projective planes of order 16

• 2000
This paper tabulates the results of a number of computer searches in projective planes of order 16. Maximal arcs of degree 4 are found in all but two of the known planes of order 16 (and their

### Some unitals on 28 points and their embeddings in projective planes of order 9

We answer three questions posed by F. Piper by exhibiting (i) a unital that is not embeddable in a projective plane, (ii) a unital which is embeddable, and isomorphic with its dual,

### Steiner 2-designs S(2,4,28) with nontrivial automorphisms

In this article designs with parameters S(2, 4, 28) and nontrivial automorphism groups are classified. A total of 4466 designs were found. Together with some S(2, 4, 28)’s with trivial automorphism

### Oval Designs in Desarguesian Projective Planes

It is shown that the block graph of the Steiner 2-design produces a Hadamard design which is such that the binarycode of the associated 3-design contains a copy of the first-order Reed-Muller code of length 22m, whereq=2m.

We construct by computer all of the hyperovals in the 22 known projective planes of order 16. Our most interesting result is that four of the planes contain no hyperovals, thus providing

It is shown by the enumeration and analysis of certain binary linear codes thatthere are no unitals of 2-rank 20, and that there are exactly 4 isomorphism classes of unital of 1-rank 21, which completes the classification of unitals on 28 points of2-rank less than 22.

It is proved that a 2-(28,4,1) design has 2–rank at least 19, with equality occuring if and only if the design is the Ree unital, and the Hermitian unital is given.
