Abstract

Let U be a unital in PG(2, q^2), q = p^h and let G be the group of projectivities of PG(2, q2) stabilizing U. In this paper we prove that U is a Buekenhout–Metz unital containing conics and q is odd if, and only if, there exists a point A of U such that the stabilizer of A in G contains an elementary Abelian p-group of order q^2 with no non-identity elations.
