Blocking sets ofH(n;q 2 ) with respect to generators
Antonio Cossidente, Contrada Macchia Romana, Oliver H. King · 2010
We construct minimal blocking sets with respect to generators on the Hermitian surfacesH(n;q 2 ) when n and q are both odd. A blocking set arises from q + 1 quadrics in PG(n;q 2 ) whose polarities commute with a unitary polarity, constructed from the union of Baer sub-quadrics with the common intersections deleted.
