Abstract

Let n >= 7 and let V be an (n + 2)-dimensional vector space endowed with an anisotropic sesquilinear form. In this article we characterise the graph whose vertices are the two-dimensional subspaces of V and in which two vertices are adjacent if and only if the corresponding two-dimensional spaces are perpendicular with respect to the sesquilinear form.
