In a projective space PG(n, q) a quasi-quadric is a set of points that has the same intersection numbers with respect to hyperplanes as a non degenerate quadric in that space. Of course, non-degenerate quadrics themselves are examples of quasi-quadrics, but many other examples ex ist. In the case that n is odd, quasi-quadrics have two sizes of inter sections with hyperplanes and so are two-character sets. These sets are known to give rise to strongly regular graphs, two-weight codes, differ ence sets, SDP-designs, Reed-Muller codes and bent functions. When n is even, quasi-quadrics have three sizes of intersection with respect to hyperplanes. Certain of these may be used to construct antipodal dis tance regular covers of complete graphs. The aim of this paper is to draw together many of the known results about quasi-quadrics, as well as to provide some new geometric construction methods and theorems.
