Abstract

Every symplectic spread of PG(3, q), or equivalently every ovoid of Q(4, q), is shown to give a certain family of permutation polynomials of GF(q) and conversely. This leads to an algebraic proof of the existence of the Tits-Lüneburg spread of W(22h + 1) and the Ree-Tits spread of W(32h + 1), as well as to a new family of low-degree permutation polynomials over GF(32h + 1).
