We provide an interesting estimation on the number of nodes and tacnodes that depends only on a linear function of the number of conics. Based on that result, we obtain a new upper bound on the number of tacnodes which turns out to be better than Miyaoka’s bound for a large enough number of conics. We also study the freeness and nearly freeness of such arrangements providing a detailed description.","PeriodicalId":127937,"journal":{"name":"Innovations in Incidence Geometry: Algebraic, Topological and Combinatorial","volume":"78 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133520334","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In particular, we investigate their relationship with the transversal lines of the regular spread. The main result is to show that a conic in a tangent Baer subplane of $PG(2,q^2)$ corresponds in $PG(4,q)$ to a normal rational curve that meets the transversal lines of the regular spread. Conversely, every 3 and 4-dimensional normal rational curve in $PG(4,q)$ that meets the transversal lines of the regular spread corresponds to a conic in a tangent Baer subplane of $PG(2,q^2)$.","PeriodicalId":127937,"journal":{"name":"Innovations in Incidence Geometry: Algebraic, Topological and Combinatorial","volume":"83 1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114333868","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
