Abstract

We characterize the hyperplanes of the dual polar space DW(2n-1,q) which arise from projective embeddings as those hyperplanes H of DW(2n-1,q) which satisfy the following property: if Q is an ovoidal quad, then Q@?H is a classical ovoid of Q. A consequence of this is that all hyperplanes of the dual polar spaces DW(2n-1,4), DW(2n-1,16) and DW(2n-1,p) (p prime) arise from projective embeddings.
