Title
On the intersection of Hermitian curves and of Hermitian surfaces
Abstract
Kestenband [Unital intersections in finite projective planes, Geom. Dedicata 11(1) (1981) 107-117; Degenerate unital intersections in finite projective planes, Geom. Dedicata 13(1) (1982) 101-106] determines the structure of the intersection of two Hermitian curves of PG(2,q^2), degenerate or not. In this paper we give a new proof of Kestenband's results. Giuzzi [Hermitian varieties over finite field, Ph.D. Thesis, University of Sussex, 2001] determines the structure of the intersection of two non-degenerate Hermitian surfaces H and H^' of PG(3,q^2) when the Hermitian pencil defined by H and H^' contains at least one degenerate Hermitian surface. We give a new proof of Giuzzi's results and we obtain some new results in the open case when all the Hermitian surfaces of the Hermitian pencil are non-degenerate.
