Abstract

For a prime power q, a q-clan is a set of q 2 × 2 matrices over GF(q) whose pairwise differences give anisotropic quadratic forms. These objects are used to construct translation planes of order q 2, flocks of quadratic cones in PG,(3, q), and generalized quadrangles with parameters(q 2, q.)
