Collineation Groups

In a previous paper (5), I constructed a class of translation planes, called generalized André planes or λ-planes, and discussed the associated autotopism collineation groups. The main question unanswered in (5) is whether or not there exists a collineation η of a λ-plane Π which moves the two axes of Π but does not interchange them.The answer to this question is “no”, except if Π is a Hall plane (or possibly if the order n of Π is 34) (Corollary 2.8). This result makes it possible to determine the isomorphisms between λ-planes. More specifically, let Π and Π′ be two λ-planes of order n coordinatized by λ-systems Qand Q′, respectively. Then, except possibly if n = 34, Π and Π′ are isomorphic if and only if Q and Q′ are isotopic or anti-isotopic (Corollary 2.13). In particular, Π is an André plane if and only if Q is an André system (Corollary 2.14).

Collineation Groups

In 1967 Foulser [1] defined a class of translation planes, called generalized André planes or λ-planes and discussed the associated autotopism collineation groups. While discussing these collineation groups he raised the following question:“Are there collineations of a λ plane which move the axes but do not interchange them?”.In this context, Foulser mentioned a conjecture of D. R. Hughes that among the André planes, only the Hall planes have collineations moving the axes without interchanging them. Wilke [4] answered Foulser's question partially by showing that the conjecture of Hughes is indeed correct. Recently, Foulser [2] has shown that possibly with a certain exception the Hall planes are the only generalized André planes which have collineations moving the axes without interchanging them. Our aim in this paper is to give an alternate proof, which is completely general, and is in the style of the original problem.

The author considers one of the main problems in finite translation planes to be the identification of the abstract groups which can act as collineation groups and how those groups can act.The paper is concerned with the case where the plane is defined on a vector space of dimension2d overGF(q), whereqanddare odd. If the stabilizer of the zero vector is non-solvable, letG0be a minimal normal non-solvable subgroup. We suspect thatG0must be isomorphic to someSL(2,u)or homomorphic toA6orA7. Our main result is that this is the case whendis the product of distinct primes.The results depend heavily on the Gorenstein-Walter determination of finite groups having dihedral Sylow2-groups whendandqare both odd. The methods and results overlap those in a joint paper by Kallaher and the author which is to appear in Geometriae Dedicata. The only known example (besides Desarguesian planes) is Hering's plane of order27(i.e.,dandqare both equal to3) which admitsSL(2,13).
