Collineation Group

Let G be a collineation group of a projective plane π. Let E be the subgroup generated by all elations in G. In the case that π is finite and G fixes no point or line, F. Piper [6; 7] has proved that if G contains certain combinations of perspectivities, then E is isomorphic to for some finite field g.

Condition C

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.

The Subject

In this research we are interested in finding all the different cubic curves over a finite projective plane of order twenty-three, learning which of them is complete or not, constructing the stabilizer groups of the cubics in, studying the properties of these groups, and, finally, introducing the relation between the subject of coding theory and the projective plane of order twenty three.

Direct Product Decomposition

AbstractWe give a semi-direct product decomposition of the point stabilisers for the enhanced and exotic nilpotent cones. In particular, we arrive at formulas for the number of points in each orbit over a finite field, which is in accordance with a recent conjecture of Achar and Henderson.

Collineation Groups

AbstractIn this paper we investigate the structure of a collineation group G of a finite projective plane Π of odd order, assuming that G leaves invariant an oval Ω of Π. We show that if G is nonabelian simple, then G ≅ PSL(2, q) for q odd. Several results about the structre and the action of G are also obtained under the assumptions that n ≡ 1 (4) and G is transitive on the points of Ω.

Desarguesian Projective Planes

In (7), Veblen and Wedclerburn gave an example of a non-Desarguesian projective plane of order 9; we shall show that this plane is self-dual and can be characterized by a collineation group of order 78, somewhat like the planes associated with difference sets. Furthermore, the technique used in (7) will be generalized and we will construct a new non-Desarguesian plane of order p2n for every positive integer n and every odd prime p.

Abstract A venerable problem in combinatorics and geometry asks whether a given incidence relation may be realized by a configuration of points and lines. The classic version of this would ask for lines in a projective plane over a field. An important variation allows for pseudolines: embedded circles (isotopic to $\mathbb R\rm{P}^1$) in the real projective plane. In this article we investigate whether a configuration is realized by a collection of 2-spheres embedded, in symplectic, smooth, and topological categories, in the complex projective plane. We find obstructions to the existence of topologically locally flat spheres realizing a configuration, and show for instance that the combinatorial configuration corresponding to the projective plane over any finite field is not realized. Such obstructions are used to show that a particular contact structure on certain graph manifolds is not (strongly) symplectically fillable. We also show that a configuration of real pseudolines can be complexified to give a configuration of smooth, indeed symplectically embedded, 2-spheres.

Trigonal Curves

AbstractThe trigonal curves of genus 5 can be represented by projective plane quintics that have one singularity of delta invariant one. Combining this with a partial sieve method for plane curves we count the number of such curves over any finite field. The main application is that this gives the motivic Euler characteristic of the moduli space of trigonal curves of genus 5.
