An optimal bound for embedding linear spaces into projective planes
1988
Abstract Linear spaces with υ >n 2 − 1 2 n + 1 points, b⩽n2 + n + 1 lines and not constant point degree are classified. It turns out that there is essentially one class of such linear spaces which are not near pencils and which can not be embedded into any projective plane of order n.
Partial spreads in finite projective spaces and partial designs
1975
A partial t-spread of a projective space P is a collection 5 p of t-dimensional subspaces of P of the same order with the property that any point of P is contained in at most one element of 50. A partial t-spread 5 p of P is said to be a t-spread if each point of P is contained in an element of 5P; a partial t-spread which is not a spread will be called strictly partial. Partial t-spreads are frequently used for constructions of affine planes, nets, and Sperner spaces (see for instance Bruck and Bose [5], Barlotti and Cofman [2]). The extension of nets to affine planes is related to the following problem: When can a partial t-spread 5 ~ of a projective space P be embedded into a larger part…
Zur Hyperebenenalgebraisierung in desargues-Schen projektiven Verbandsgeometrien
1991
As a completion and extension of a result of A. Day and D. Pickering [5] we obtain the following structure theorem in the conceptual frame of projective lattice geometries: In a Desarguesian projective geometry the subgeometry of every at least one-dimensional hyperplane is module induced.
Graphs of stable maps from closed surfaces to the projective plane
2018
Abstract We describe how to attach a weighted graph to each stable map from closed surfaces to projective plane and prove that any weighted graph with non negatively weighted vertices is the graph of some stable map from a closed surface to the projective plane.
A note on projective coordinate systems of modular lattices
1993
This note clarifies the combinatorial nature of projective coordinate systems of modular upper continuous lattices. It generalizes the classical relationship between 3-dimensional Desarguesian configurations and coordinate systems of projective 3-spaces.
On n–Fold Blocking Sets
1986
An n-fold blocking set is a set of n-disjoint blocking sets. We shall prove upper and lower bounds for the number of components in an n-fold blocking set in projective and affine spaces.
A Common Characterization of Finite Projective Spaces and Affine Planes
1981
Let S be a finite linear space for which there is a non-negative integer s such that for any two disjoint lines L, L' of S and any point p outside L and L' there are exactly s lines through p intersecting the two lines L and L'. We prove that one of the following possibilities occurs: (i) S is a generalized projective space, and if the dimension of S is at least 4, then any line of S has exactly two points. (ii) S is an affine plane, an affine plane with one improper point, or a punctured projective plane. (iii) S is the Fano-quasi -plane.
A characterization of the line set of an odd-dimensional Baer subspace
1990
Generalizing a theorem of Beutelspacher and Seeger, we consider line sets\(\mathcal{L}\) inP=PG(2t + 1,q),t ∈ IN, with the following properties: (1) any (t + 1)-dimensional subspace ofP contains at least one line of\(\mathcal{L}\), (2) if a pointx ofP is incident with at least two lines of\(\mathcal{L}\) then the points in the factor geometryP/x which are induced by the lines of\(\mathcal{L}\) throughx form a blocking set of type (t, 1) inP/x, (3) any line of\(\mathcal{L}\) is coplanar with at least one further line of\(\mathcal{L}\). We will show that the examples of minimal cardinality are exactly the line sets of Baer subspaces ofP.
