A new class of translation planes of order
is constructed and studied. These planes are a generalization of the
-planes
discovered by Johnson, Pomareda and Wilke. These
-planes may be André
replaced and the
-planes
and the planes obtained by André replacement may be derived. There are
thirteen new planes constructed and classified. Using ‘regular hyperbolic
covers’, there are some new constructions of flat flocks of Segre varieties by
Veronesians.
