A Combinatorial Characterization of H(4, q2)

In this paper, we remove the solid incidence assumption in a characterization of H(4, q(2)) by J. Schillewaert and J. A. Thasby proving that Hermitian plane incidence numbers imply Hermitian solid incidence numbers, except for a few possible small cases.

Automated summary

In this paper, we investigate the relationship between the incidence numbers of the Hermitian plane and the Hermitian solid, showing that the Hermitian plane incidence numbers can imply the Hermitian solid incidence numbers, except for a few possible small cases.
