Some geometry of Hermitian matrices of order three over GF(q2) is studied. The variety coming from rank 2 matrices is a cubic hypersurface M73of PG(8,q ) whose singular points form a variety H corresponding to all rank 1 Hermitian matrices. BesideM73 turns out to be the secant variety of H. We also define the Hermitian embedding of the point-set of PG(2, q2) whose image is exactly the variety H. It is a cap and it is proved that PGL(3, q2) is a subgroup of all linear automorphisms of H. Further, the Hermitian lifting of a collineation of PG(2, q2) is defined. By looking at the point orbits of such lifting of a Singer cycle of PG(2, q2) new mixed partitions of PG(8,q ) into caps and linear subspaces are given. |
