Abstract

The 2-rank of any 2-(28,4,1) design (unital on 28 points)is known to be between 19 and 27. It is shown by the enumerationand analysis of certain binary linear codes that there are nounitals of 2-rank 20, and that there are exactly 4 isomorphismclasses of unitals of 2-rank 21. Combined with previous results,this completes the classification of unitals on 28 points of2-rank less than 22.
