Cyclic 2-spreads in V(6,q) and flag-transitive linear spaces

In this paper we completely classify spreads of 2-dimensional subspaces of a 6-dimensional vector space over a finite field of characteristic not two or three upon which a cyclic group acts transitively. This addresses one of the remaining open cases in the classification of flag-transitive linear spaces. We utilise the polynomial approach innovated by Pauley and Bamberg to obtain our results.
