Abstract

In this chapter, we study dual polar spaces. These are certain point-line geometries that are closely related to polar spaces. We study several properties of these geometries and describe several families. Dual polar spaces are examples of near polygons. In this chapter we also prove a result, essentially due to Peter Cameron, which characterizes dual polar spaces as those near polygons that satisfy certain specific properties.
