AbstractThe Kleinewillinghöfer types of Laguerre planes reflect the transitivity properties of certain groups of central automorphisms. Polster and Steinke have shown that some of the conceivable types for flat Laguerre planes cannot exist and given models for most of the other types. The existence of only a few types is still in doubt. One of these is type V.A.1, whose existence we prove here. In order to construct our model, we make systematic use of the restrictions imposed by the group. We conjecture that our example belongs to a one-parameter family of planes all of type V.A.1.

We provide examples of flat Laguerre planes of Kleinewillinghöfer type E, thus completing the classification of flat Laguerre planes with respect to Laguerre translations in B. Polster and G.F. Steinke, Results Maths. (2004). These planes are obtained by a method for constructing a new flat Laguerre plane from three given Laguerre planes devised in B. Polster and G. Steinke, Canad. Math. Bull. (1995) but no examples were given there.

Kleinewillinghöfer classified Laguerre planes with respect to linearly transitive groups of central automorphisms. Polster and Steinke investigated two-dimensional Laguerre planes and their so-called Kleinewillinghöfer types. For some of the feasible types the existence question remained open. We provide examples of such planes of type II.A.2, which are based on certain two-dimensional Laguerre planes of translation type. With these models only one type, I.A.2, is left for which no two-dimensional Laguerre planes are known yet.

AbstractThe classical 2-dimensional Laguerre plane is obtained as the geometry of non-trivial plane sections of a cylinder in R3 with a circle in R2 as base. Points and lines in R3 define subsets of the circle set of this geometry via the affine non-vertical planes that contain them. Furthemore, vertical lines and planes define partitions of the circle set via the points and affine non-vertical lines, respectively, contained in them.We investigate abstract counterparts of such sets of circles and partitions in arbitrary 2-dimensional Laguerre planes. We also prove a number of related results for generalized quadrangles associated with 2-dimensional Laguerre planes.
