This thesis shows the relationship of ovoids in PG(3, q), q 2, to finite generalized quadrangles, spreads in PG(3, q) and finite inversive planes. An ovoid in PG(3, q) is determined from an ovoid in the W(q) generalized quadrangle. Specifically, the set of absolute points of a polarity in W(q) for q...
