Abstract

This report explores combinatorial structures in Finite Geometries by giving known constructions of maximal arcs; using maximal arcs to construct two-weight codes, partial geometries, strongly regular graphs and LDPC codes; a review on how to generalize maximal arcs to higher dimensions through Perp-Systems; and an effort in finding constructions of new Perp-Systems.
