Fix a generator $\\Pi$ of the quadric. Define $\\cG_n$ as the graph with vertex set the points of $Q^+(2n+1,q)\\setminus \\Pi$ and two vertices adjacent if they either span a secant to $Q^+(2n+1,q)$ or a line contained in $Q^+(2n+1,q)$ meeting $\\Pi$ non-trivially. Then such a construction defines a strongly regular graph, which is the complement of a (non-induced) subgraph of the collinearity graph of $Q^+(2n+1,q)$. In this paper, we directly compute the parameters of $\\cG_n$, which is cospectral, when $q=2$, to the tangent graph $NO^+(2n+2,2)$, but it is non-isomorphic for $n\\geq3$. We also prove the non-isomorphism by analyzing the case of the quadric $Q^+(7,2)$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2025-05-07T07:29:36.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "51E20", "05E30" ], "keywords": [ "strongly regular graph", "hyperbolic quadric", "vertices adjacent", "tangent graph", "construction defines" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
