Collineation groups of semi-translation planes

Theodore G. Ostrom

Vol. 15 (1965), No. 1, 273–279
Abstract

This paper consists in an investigation of the collineations of a class of planes constructed by the author. The construction consists of replacing the lines of a net embedded in a given plane by subplanes of the same net.

For the case in question, the given plane is the dual of a translation plane. The full collineation group of the new plane is isomorphic to a subgroup of the collineation group of the original plane. The main point of the argument is to show that the new planes admit no collineations displacing the line at infinity.
