On Collineation Groups of Finite Projective Spaces
نویسنده
چکیده
Let V be a vector space of finite dimension n over a finite field GF(q). Let Lk(V ) denote the set of k-dimensional subspaces of V. Several authors have studied groups acting on Lk(V ) for various k. Wagner [9] considered groups which act doubly transitively on LI(V ). Recently Kantor [6] has shown that most groups which act transitively on L2(V) also act doubly transitively on LI(V ). This paper considers groups which act transitively on Lk(V ) for 3<_k<_n-3. The main result is the following theorem.

Line-transitive Collineation Groups of Finite Projective Spaces
A collineation group F of PG(d, q), d >= 3, which is transitive on lines is shown to be 2-transitive on points unless d = 4, q = 2 and ] F ] = 31'5. m m
متن کاملOn collination groups of finite planes
Points will always be denoted by small latin letters, lines by capitals (unlike Bonisoli’s notations). By (a, b), with a, b ∈ N, we denote the greatest common divisor of a and b. Suppose π is a projective plane of order n, and suppose (p, L) is a point-line pair. Then a collineation θ of π is a (p, L)-collineation if θ fixes any point on L and every line through p. If (p, L) is a flag, then θ i...
متن کاملIntransitive 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 ...
متن کاملIrreducible collineation groups with two orbits forming an oval
Let G be a collineation group of a finite projective plane π of odd order fixing an oval Ω . We investigate the case in which G has even order, has two orbits Ω0 and Ω1 on Ω , and the action of G on Ω0 is primitive. We show that if G is irreducible, then π has a G-invariant desarguesian subplane π0 and Ω0 is a conic of π0. © 2007 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
متن کاملCollineation Groups Which Are Primitive on an Oval of a Projective Plane of Odd Order
It is shown that a projective plane of odd order, with a collineation group acting primitively on the points of an invariant oval, must be desarguesian. Moreover, the group is actually doubly transitive, with only one exception. The main tool in the proof is that a collineation group leaving invariant an oval in a projective plane of odd order has 2-rank at most three.
