N1 - Includes bibliographical references and index; 1. Quadrics -- 2. Hermitian varieties -- 3. Grassmann varieties -- 4. Veronese and Segre varieties -- 5. Embedded geometries -- 6. Ares and caps -- 7. Ovoids, spreads and m-systems of finite classical polar spaces N2 - This volume completes the trilogy comprised of plane case (first volume) and three dimensions (second volume). This revised edition includes much updating and new material. It is a mostly self-contained study of classical varieties over a finite field, related incidence structures and particular point sets in finite n-dimensional projective spaces. General Galois Geometries is suitable for PhD students and researchers in combinatorics and geometry. The separate chapters can be used for courses at postgraduate level. ER -
