  • Abstract
    A Yoshiara family is a set of q+3 planes in PG(5,q),q even, such that for any element of the set the intersection with the remaining q+2 elements forms a hyperoval. In 1998 Yoshiara showed that such a family gives rise to an extended generalized quadrangle of order (q+1,q−1). He also constructed such a family S(O) from a hyperoval O in PG(2,q). In 2000 Ng and Wild showed that the dual of a Yoshiara family is also a Yoshiara family. They showed that if O has o-polynomial a monomial and O is not regular, then the dual of S(O) is a new Yoshiara family. This article extends this result and shows that in general the dual of S(O) is a new Yoshiara family, thus giving new extended generalized quadrangles.
