Abstract

If ~(O) is a quadratic cone in PG(3,q), with vertex x, then a flock of c~(O) is a partition of cg(O)-{x} into q disjoint conics. With such a flock there correspond a translation plane of order q2 and a generalized quadrangle of order (q2,q). Here we determine all flocks of ~(O) for q ~< 8.
