Stable planes with a point transitive abelian group

Andreas Wörner

Vol. 4 (2006), No. 1, 53–61
Abstract

We consider stable planes E = (P,) admitting an abelian group Δ which acts (sharply) transitively on the point set P. Known examples are the so-called arc planes with Δ = 2 (H. Groh, 1979), affine translation planes and shift planes. We examine the possible actions of Δ on the line space and use the results in order to characterize affine shift planes and translation planes.
