Abstract

In Pralle and Shpectorov (Adv Geom 7(1):1-17, 2007) the class of ovoidal hyperplanes in dual polar spaces of rank 4 is described. In this paper we observe that by removing such a hyperplane and a related second hyperplane one obtains a nice geometry for the group stabilising the ovoidal hyperplane. We show that this group acts flag-transitively and that the geometry is simply connected.
