Kantor's flag-transitive generalized quadrangle conjecture

Let S\mathcal{S} be a finite flag-transitive generalized quadrangle. A generalized quadrangle is classical when it is one of the standard generalized quadrangles arising from a classical polar space; two generalized quadrangles are considered equivalent up to duality when points and lines may be interchanged. Kantor's conjecture. If S\mathcal{S} is not a classical generalized quadrangle, then, up to duality, S\mathcal{S} is the unique generalized quadrangle of order (3,5)(3,5) or the generalized quadrangle of order (15,17)(15,17) arising from the Lunelli--Sce hyperoval. This is presented as part of the outstanding classification problem for flag-transitive generalized polygons; the supplied text gives no resolution.
