TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the number of rational points of a projective, geometrically irreducible, non-singular, algebraic curve defined over a finite field Fq2 of order q 2 satisfies the Hasse-Weil upper bound.
Abstract: Let X be a projective, geometrically irreducible, non-singular, algebraic curve defined over a finite field Fq2 of order q2 If the number of Fq2-rational points of X satisfies the Hasse–Weil upper bound, then X is said to be Fq2-maximal For a point P0 ∈ X(Fq2), let π be the morphism arising from the linear series D: = |(q + 1)P0|, and let N: = dim(D) It is known that N ≥ 2 and that π is independent of P0 whenever X is Fq2-maximal
TL;DR: It is proved that if Sis any symplectic spread PG(3, q), then the extended lines of this spread form a complete (q2 + 1)-span of H, and extensions to higher dimensions are discussed, showing in particular that a similar construction produces complete ( q3 + 1-spans of the Hermitian variety H(5, q2).
Abstract: Let \mathcal{L} be a general linear complex in PG(3, q) for any prime power q. We show that when GF(q) is extended to GF(q2), the extended lines of \mathcal{L} cover a non-singular Hermitian surface H ≅ H(3, q2) of PG(3, q2). We prove that if \mathcal{S} is any symplectic spread PG(3, q), then the extended lines of this spread form a complete (q2 + 1)-span of H. Several other examples of complete spans of H for small values of q are also discussed. Finally, we discuss extensions to higher dimensions, showing in particular that a similar construction produces complete (q3 + 1)-spans of the Hermitian variety H(5, q2).

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present several old and new results concerning substructures (e.g., partial spreads, ovoids, and tight sets) of polar spaces, and present several new results for polar spaces.
