A new family of $2$-dimensional Laguerre planes that admit $\mathrm{PSL}_2(\mathbb R) \times\mathbb R$ as a group of automorphisms

Abstract

We construct a new family of 2-dimensional Laguerre planes that differ from the classical real Laguerre plane only in the circles that meet a given circle in precisely two points. These planes share many properties with but are nonisomorphic to certain semiclassical Laguerre planes pasted along a circle in that they admit 4-dimensional groups of automorphisms that contain PSL2() and are of Kleinewillinghöfer type I.G.1.
