چکیده

We have shown in [2] that the full collineation group of any projective plane of order 12 is a (2, 3) group. It is of interest to determine the structure of this (2,3} group. As a first step in that direction, we have shown in [3] that a non-Abelian group of order 6 cannot act as a collineation group on any projective plane of order 12. As a second step, we have shown in [4] that there is no projective plane of order 12 which possesses a collineation group of order 4 consisting of elations with a fixed point as a center and a fixed line as its axis. As a third and essential step, we prove the following result:

A Generalization of a Result of L. Baumert and M. Hall About Projective Planes of Order 12

In [ 1 ] it was shown that there is no projective plane of order 12 which possesses a collineation group of order 12 consisting of elations with a fixed point as a center and a fixed line as its axis. We prove THEOREM A. There is no projective plane of order 12 which possesses a collineation group of order 4 consisting of elations with a fixed point as a center and a fixed line as its axis.

PROOF OF THE PRIME POWER CONJECTURE FOR PROJECTIVE PLANES OF ORDER n WITH ABELIAN COLLINEATION GROUPS OF ORDER n

Let G be an abelian collineation group of order n2 of a projective plane of order n. We show that n must be a prime power, and that the p-rank of G is at least b+ 1 if n = pb for an odd prime p.

Intransitive collineation groups of ovals fixing a triangle

We investigate collineation groups of a finite projective plane of odd order fixing an oval and having two orbits on it, one of which is assumed to be primitive. The situation in which there exists a fixed triangle off the oval is considered in detail. Our main result is the following. Theorem. Let p be a finite projective plane of odd order n containing an oval O: If a collineation group G of ...

On finite projective planes in Lenz-Barlotti class at least 1.3

We establish the connections between finite projective planes admitting a collineation group of Lenz-Barlotti type 1.3 or 1.4, partially transitive planes of type (3) in the sense of Hughes, and planes admitting a quasiregular collineation group of type (g) in the DembowskiPiper classification; our main tool is an equivalent description by a certain type of difference set relative to disjoint s...
