Nonexistence conjecture for doubly regular generalized quadrangles

Let Q\mathcal{Q} be a generalized quadrangle of order s>1s>1, and suppose a group of automorphisms acts regularly on both the point set and the line set of Q\mathcal{Q}. Nonexistence conjecture. No such generalized quadrangle exists. This conjecture is motivated by the impossibility of a polarity for a thick generalized quadrangle with such a regular automorphism group and by severe restrictions on the order of Q\mathcal{Q} and the acting group. The source provides numerical evidence but does not establish the conjecture in general.
