D. R. Hughes stated the following conjecture: If π is a finite projective plane satisfying the condition: (C)π contains a collineation group δ inducing a doubly transitive permutation group δ* on the points of a line g, fixed under δ, then the corresponding affine plane πg is a translation plane.

AbstractLet P be a translation plane containing a net N which is replaceable by . Let P' denote the transposed plane. We note that N' is replaceable by ()'. This result shows how to relate the various constructions of the two translation planes of order 16 that admit PSL(2, 7).

In 1902, F. R. Moulton (12) gave an early example of a non-Desarguesian plane. Its ‘points” are ordered pairs (x, y) of real numbers. Its “lines” coincide with lines of the real affine plane except that lines of negative slope are “bent” on the x-axis, line {y = b + mx}, for negative m, being replaced by {y = b + mx if y ≤ 0, y = [m/2]. [x + (b/m)] if y > 0}. A certain Desarguesian configuration in the classical plane is shifted just enough to vitiate Desargues’ Theorem for Moulton's geometry. The plane is neither a translation plane (“Veblen-Wedderburn” in the sense of Hall (7), p. 364) nor even the dual of one (Veblen and Wedderburn (17). It is natural to ask if the same construction is feasible when real numbers are replaced by elements from an arbitrary field.

Ostrom proposed classifications of translation planes on the basis of the action of the collineation group of the plane on the ideal points. There are examples of translation planes in which ideal points form a single orbit (flag transitive planes) and also several orbits (Hall, André, Foulser, and so forth, planes). In this paper the authors have constructed a translation plane in which the ideal points are divided into two orbits of lengths 18 and 8 respectively. A few collineatlons are computed together with their actions. The group of collineations G1 which is transitive on the two sets of 18 and 8 lines separately is calculated. All the collineations that fix L0 are also calculated and they form a group of. If G2 is the group of translations then the full collineation group is shown to be 〈G1, G2, G3〉.

The literature of finite projective planes consists largely of general investigations, taking in as many as possible of these systems at once. However, the geometry in a specific finite plane may well be an amusing, and not entirely trivial, field of study on its own. Some papers (5, 9, 13) have in fact appeared on the geometry of the translation plane of order 9: but the Hughes plane of the same order has comparatively been neglected. The object of the present paper is to make a beginning with the study of this plane from a synthetic point of view.
