It is known that for both PG(n,q) and AG(n,q), the largest example is a $t$-pencil, i.e. the set of all $k$-spaces containing a fixed $t$-space. In this paper, we analyse the structure of the second largest maximal example in both PG(n,q) and AG(n,q).", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-07-31T05:21:59.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05B25", "51E20", "51E30" ], "keywords": [ "affine spaces", "hilton-milner results", "second largest maximal example", "analyse maximal sets", "projective" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
