Given an epimorphism φ: Π → Π' between projective planes Π and Π', it is an open question how the groups of projectivities of Π and Π' (regarded as permutation groups on projective lines) are related. Within this note we will not answer this sophisticated and hard problem in full, but we will address the question to which extend the projectivities of Π induce permutations on the lines of Π ' wh...

Let E1 be the near hexagon on 729 points related to the extended ternary Golay code. We prove in an entirely geometricway that the generating and embedding ranks ofE1 are equal to 24. We also study the structure of the universal embeddinge of E1. More precisely, we consider several nice subgeometries A of E1 and determine which kind of embeddingeA is, whereeA is the embedding of A induced by...
