Abstract

Let \(\mathrm{PG}(n,q)\) be the n-dimensional projective space over the finite field \({\mathbb F}_q\). A spread in \(\mathrm{PG}(n,q)\) is a set of lines which partition the point set. A partition of the lines of the projective space by spreads is called a parallelism. The study of parallelisms is motivated by their numerous relations and applications. We construct 8958 new nonisomorphic parallelisms of \(\mathrm{PG}(3,5)\). They are invariant under cyclic automorphism groups of order 8. Some of their interesting properties are discussed. We use the system for computational discrete algebra GAP as well as our own MPI-based software written in C++.
