A unital, that is a 2-(q^3 + 1, q + 1, 1) block-design, is embedded in a projective plane π of order q^2 if its points are points of π and its blocks are subsets of lines of π, the point-block incidences being the same as in π.

Abstract
A unital, that is a 2-(q^3 + 1, q + 1, 1) block-design, is embedded in a projective plane π of order q^2 if its points are points of π and its blocks are subsets of lines of π, the point-block incidences being the same as in π. Regarding unitals U which are isomorphic, as a block-design, to the classical unital, T. Szonyi and the authors recently proved that the natural embedding is the unique embedding of U into the Desarguesian plane of order q^2. In this paper we extend this uniqueness result to all unitals which are isomorphic, as block-designs, to orthogonal Buekenhout-Metz unitals.File in questo prodotto:
