Let G be an abelian collineation group of order nðn 1Þ of a projective plane of order n. We show that n must be power of a prime p and that the p-part of G is elementary abelian.

New characterization of some linear groups
There are a few finite groups that are determined up to isomorphism solely by their order, such as $mathbb{Z}_{2}$ or $mathbb{Z}_{15}$. Still other finite groups are determined by their order together with other data, such as the number of elements of each order, the structure of the prime graph, the number of order components, the number of Sylow $p$-subgroups for each prime $p$, etc. In this...
متن کاملUnbalanced Hadamard Matrices and Finite Projective Planes of Even Order
By an unbalanced Hadamard matrix we mean a matrix H,, = (hii) such that (i) hii = l/fi or -I/fi, (ii) H, is orthogonal, and (iii) the number of positive entries exceeds the number of negative entries in each row. In particular it is well-known that the dimension n must be an even perfect square if the number of positive entries is the same in each row. It is easy to show that the number of posi...
متن کاملCyclic affine planes and Paley difference sets
Arasu, K.T. and A. Pott, Cyclic affine planes and Paley difference sets, Discrete Mathematics 106/107 (1992) 19-23. The existence of a cyclic affine plane implies the existence of a Paley type difference set. We use the existence of this difference set to give the following condition on the existence of cyclic affine planes of order n: If n 8 mod 16 then n 1 must be a prime. We discuss the stru...
متن کاملPROOF 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.
متن کاملThe Auslander-Reiten Conjecture for Group Rings
This paper studies the vanishing of $Ext$ modules over group rings. Let $R$ be a commutative noetherian ring and $ga$ a group. We provide a criterion under which the vanishing of self extensions of a finitely generated $Rga$-module $M$ forces it to be projective. Using this result, it is shown that $Rga$ satisfies the Auslander-Reiten conjecture, whenever $R$ has finite global dimension and $ga...
