A Lecture on Some Recent Developments and Open Problems in the Automorphism Theory of Generalized Quadrangles
(Giugno 2005)


Abstract. In this paper, we survey recent developments in the automorphism theory for finite generalized quadrangles. More explicitly, we survey results which characterize or classify classes of generalized quadrangles by some kind of action of an automorphism group of the quadrangle. For each of these results, the concept of regularity will play a crucial role. We also include some new unpublished work.
