Abstract

We show that a symmetric, doubly dual hyperoval has an odd rank. This is a weak support for the conjecture that doubly dual hyperovals over \(\mathbb{F }_2\) only exist, if the rank of the dual hyperoval is odd (see [2]).
Footnotes
1
More common is notion \((n-1)\)-dimensional dual hyperoval for a dual hyperoval of rank \(n\) referring to the projective dimension of vectorspaces (see [5, Def. 2.1, 2.3]).
