Baer (1) introduced the term "(p,L)-collineation" to denote a central collineation with centre p and axis L. We shall find it convenient to use a modification of the related notion of "(p, L)-transitivity."Definition. Let π0 be a subplane of the projective plane π. Let L be a fixed line of π0, and let p be a fixed point of π0. Let r and s be any two points of π0 that are collinear with p, distinct from p, and not on L. If, for each such choice of r and s, there is a (p, L)-collineation of π that (1) carries π0 into itself and (2) carries r into s, we shall say that π is (p, L, π0)-transitive.

Möbius Plane

The geometries considered here are the Möbius plane M() (W. Benz [1]), the Laguerre plane L() (W. Benz and H. Mäurer [7]) and the Minkowski plane A() (W. Benz [5], G. Kaerlein [18]) over a field . All of them are geometries of an algebra with identity over a field. The characterization of the projective plane over a field by the proposition of Pappus first gave a close relation between algebraic and geometric structures. B. L. v. d. Waedern and L. J. Smid [28] presented a further example by characterizing the Möbius and Laguerre plane with incidence axioms and the "complete" proposition of Miquel.

Maximal Chains

For a partition $\lambda$ of an integer, we associate $\lambda$ with a slender poset $P$ the Hasse diagram of which resembles the Ferrers diagram of $\lambda$. Let $X$ be the set of maximal chains of $P$. We consider Stanley's involution $\epsilon:X\rightarrow X$, which is extended from Schützenberger's evacuation on linear extensions of a finite poset. We present an explicit characterization of the fixed points of the map $\epsilon:X\rightarrow X$ when $\lambda$ is a stretched staircase or a rectangular shape. Unexpectedly, the fixed points have a nice structure, i.e., a fixed point can be decomposed in half into two chains such that the first half and the second half are the evacuation of each other. As a consequence, we prove anew Stembridge's $q=-1$ phenomenon for the maximal chains of $P$ under the involution $\epsilon$ for the restricted shapes.

AbstractIn this paper, a fixed point equation of the compound-exponential type distributions is derived, and under some regular conditions, both the existence and uniqueness of this fixed point equation are investigated. A question posed by Pitman and Yor can be partially answered by using our approach.

Branching Trees

We consider possibly nonlinear distributional fixed-point equations on weighted branching trees, which include the well-known linear branching recursion. In Jelenković and Olvera-Cravioto (2012), an implicit renewal theorem was developed that enables the characterization of the power-tail asymptotics of the solutions to many equations that fall into this category. In this paper we complement the analysis in our 2012 paper to provide the corresponding rate of convergence.
