Some Constructions and Embeddings of the Tilde Geometry


Abstract


Some old and new onstructions of the tilde geometry (the flag transitive connected triple cover of the unique generalized quadrangle  W(2) of order  (2 ,2)) are discussed. Using them,we prove some properties of that geometry.In particular,we compute its generating rank,we give an explicit description of its universal projective embedding and we determine its homogeneous embeddings.
