Non-Classical 4-Dimensional Minkowski Planes Obtained as Brothers of Semiclassical 4-Dimensional Laguerre Planes
نویسنده
چکیده
We describe the first non-classical 4-dimensional Minkowski planes and show that they have 6-dimensional automorphism groups. These planes are obtained by a construction of Schroth [18] from generalized quadrangles associated with the semiclassical 4-dimensional Laguerre planes. All 4-dimensional Minkowski planes that can be obtained in this way from the semiclassical 4-dimensional Laguerre planes are determined.

A characterization of certain elation Laguerre planes
We characterize the non-classical 4-dimensional elation Laguerre planes as precisely those 4-dimensional Laguerre planes of Kleinewillinghöfer type I.D.1. Furthermore, in the class of 2or 4-dimensional Laguerre planes or finite Laguerre planes of odd order, the non-miquelian elation Laguerre planes are precisely the Laguerre planes of Kleinewillinghöfer type D.

متن کاملSisters of some 4-dimensional elation Laguerre planes
We give an explicit description of some sisters of 4-dimensional elation Laguerre planes of group dimension 10 with respect to points of the Laguerre planes. In this way we obtain the first concrete examples of 4-dimensional Laguerre planes of group dimensions 8 and 7 and of 4-dimensional Laguerre planes that are not elation Laguerre planes.

متن کاملCriteria for Two-dimensional Circle Planes
We give some easy to use criteria for deciding whether a MM obius plane, Laguerre plane or Minkowski plane, given in some normal form, is 2-dimensional. As an application of our results we prove that a Laguerre plane or Minkowski plane with a given topology on the point set is a (topological) 2-dimensional plane if and only if each derived aane plane at points of at least one parallel class is ...
متن کاملFinite Möbius near-planes
We introduce finite Mobius near-planes of order n and show that these planes uniquely extend to Mobius planes of the same order if n ;:::: 5. Furthermore, Mobius near-planes of order n :s; 4 are discussed and the situation for the other two types of finite circle near-planes, Laguerre and Minkowski near-planes, is reviewed.
متن کاملA family of flat Minkowski planes admitting 3-dimensional simple groups of automorphisms
In this paper we construct a new family of flat Minkowski planes of group dimension 3. These planes share the positive half with the classical real Minkowski plane and admit simple groups of automorphisms isomorphic to PSL2ðRÞ acting diagonally on the torus. We further determine the full automorphism groups and the Klein–Kroll types of these flat Minkowski planes. 2000 Mathematics Subject Class...
