Abstract

Two-weight codes and projectivesets having two intersection sizes with hyperplanes are equivalentobjects and they define strongly regular graphs. We constructprojective sets in \PG(2m-1,q) that have the sameintersection numbers with hyperplanes as the hyperbolic quadric\Q^{+}(2m-1,q). We investigate these sets; we provethat if q=2 the corresponding strongly regular graphsare switching equivalent and that they contain subconstituentsthat are point graphs of partial geometries. If m=4the partial geometries have parameters s=7, t=8,\alpha = 4 and some of them are embeddable in Steinersystems \S(2,8,120).
