Abstract
AbstractWe classify symplectic 4-dimensional semifields over $$\mathbb {F}_q$$

q

. The classification is obtained by classifying all symplectic semifield subspaces in $$\textrm{PG}(9,q)$$

of degree two. Our results imply the non-existence of non-associative symplectic 4-dimensional semifields for q even, $$q\le 8$$

q
