Abstract

We give a geometrical description of the spin-embedding e"s"p of the symplectic dual polar space @D@?DW(5,2^r) by showing how the natural embedding of W(5,2^r) into PG(5,2^r) is involved in the Grassmann-embedding e"g"r of @D. We prove that the map sending every quad of @D to its nucleus realizes the natural embedding of W(5,2^r). Taking the quotient of e"g"r over the space spanned by the nuclei of the quadrics corresponding to the quads of @D gives an embedding isomorphic to e"s"p.
