Abstract:
In this note we illuminate and apply the equivalence of quadratic APN functions to certain subspaces of alternating bilinear forms. These subspaces can be characterized by the rank-distance of the dual subspace, or equivalently, as the subspaces of $\bigwedge^2$ GF(2)m avoiding the variety of elements of rank 2. Or, in the geometric language, as subspaces external (or skew) to the line Grassmannian.
