Abstract

A spread in PG(n, q) is a set of lines which partition the point set. A parallelism is a partition of the set of lines by spreads. A parallelism is uniform if all its spreads are isomorphic. Up to isomorphism, there are three spreads of PG(3, 4) – regular, subregular and aregular. Therefore, three types of uniform parallelisms are possible. In this work, we consider uniform parallelisms of PG(3, 4) which possess an automorphism of order 2. We establish that there are no regular parallelisms, and that there are 8253 nonisomorphic subregular parallelisms. Together with the parallelisms known before this work, this yields a total of 8623 known subregular parallelisms of PG(3, 4).
