In this series of talks, I will first give an introduction to finite classical polar spaces, and then focus on some particular substructures in them. The main topic in consideration will be intriguing sets. I will describe some standard geometric construction techniques, explain how to make use of the subgroup structure of the associated classical groups, and demonstrate how algebraic number theory plays a role with a properly chosen model. I will end the talks by listing some long-standing open problems on this topics.
