Examples
- In PG(d,q), with d odd and d ≥ 3, the set of all points, with as subspaces the totally isotropic subspaces of an arbitrary symplectic polarity, forms a polar space of rank (d+1)/2.
- Let Q be a nonsingular quadric in PG(n,q) with character ω. Then the index of Q will be g = (n+w−3)/2. The set of all points on the quadric, together with the subspaces on the quadric, forms a polar space of rank g+1.
- Let H be a nonsingular Hermitian variety in PG(n,q2). The index of H will be . The points on H, together with the subspaces on it, form a polar space of rank .

“No rules exist, and examples are simply life-savers answering the appeals of rules making vain attempts to exist.”
—André Breton (1896–1966)
“There are many examples of women that have excelled in learning, and even in war, but this is no reason we should bring ‘em all up to Latin and Greek or else military discipline, instead of needle-work and housewifry.”

“In the examples that I here bring in of what I have [read], heard, done or said, I have refrained from daring to alter even the smallest and most indifferent circumstances. My conscience falsifies not an iota; for my knowledge I cannot answer.”
