Project description
Many new constructions of particular sets in projective spaces arise from constructions using field reduction, e.g. eggs, blocking sets, geneneralised quadrangles. The structures considered in this project are also related to an algebraic structure: a quasifield. It is our goal to find new constructions and classification results for the mentioned subsets and the obtained quasifields by using this geometrical perspective
