Existence of non-hyperplanar -ovoids of the parabolic quadric
Let be a prime power greater than , and let be the parabolic quadric in projective -space. An -ovoid is a set of points meeting every generator of in exactly points. Non-hyperplanar ovoid conjecture. There exists a -ovoid of which is not contained in a hyperplane for every prime power . The claim is verified computationally for ; the case is excluded because the computed example is an embedded . Existence for all larger prime powers remains open.
