Finite flag-transitive affine planes with a solvable automorphism group
In this paper, we consider finite flag-transitive affine planes with a solvable automorphism group. Under a mild number-theoretic condition involving the order and dimension of the plane, the translation complement must contain a linear cyclic subgroup that either is transitive or has two equal-sized orbits on the line at infinity. We develop a new approach to the study of such planes by associ...
متن کاملThe automorphism group of an affine quadric
We determine the automorphism group for a large class of affine quadrics over a field, viewed as affine algebraic varieties. The proof uses a fundamental theorem of Karpenko’s in the theory of quadratic forms [13], along with some useful arguments of birational geometry. In particular, we find that the automorphism group of the n-sphere {x0 + · · · + x 2 n = 1} over the real numbers is just the...
متن کاملOn Discrete Chamber-transitive Automorphism Groups of Affine Buildings
1. Introduction. Let A be the affine building of a simple adjoint algebraic group Q of relative rank > 2 over a locally compact local field K. Let Aut A (resp. E Aut A) denote the group of type-preserving (resp. of all) auto-morphisms of A. Note that E Aut A contains the group $(K) of ÜT-rational points of §. We will be interested in discrete subgroups of Aut A which are chamber-transitive on A...
متن کاملInjections into Affine Hypersurfaces )
Let X be a smooth aane variety of dimension n > 2. Assume that the group H 1 (X; Z) is a torsion group and that (X) = 1. Let Y be a projectively smooth aane hypersurface Y C n+1 of degree d > 1, which is smooth at innnity. Then there is no injective polynomial mapping f : X ! Y: This contradicts a result of Peretz 5].
متن کاملAffine Distance-transitive Groups
A fruitful way of studying groups is by means of their actions on graphs. A very special and interesting class of groups are the ones acting distance-transitively on some graph. A group G acting on a connected graph F = (VT, ET) is said to act distance-transitively if its action on each of the sets {(x, y)\ x, y e VT, d(x, y) = i} is transitive. Here VT and ET stand for the vertices and edges o...
