An Algebraic Approach to Finite Projective Planes
نویسنده
چکیده
A finite projective plane, or more generally a finite linear space, has an associated incidence complex that gives rise to two natural algebras: the Stanley-Reisner ring R/IΛ and the inverse system algebra R/I∆. We give a careful study of both of these algebras. Our main results are a full description of the graded Betti numbers of both algebras in the more general setting of linear spaces (giving the result for the projective planes as a special case), and a classification of the characteristics in which the inverse system algebra associated to a finite projective plane has the Weak or Strong Lefschetz Property.

Projective Planes of Type
During the last few years, there has been a mild surge of interest in projective planes of type I-4. This paper is intended to both provide a survey of some recent theorems, and to present some new results concerning these planes. In Section 2, we describe the algebraic setting for these planes. Special attention is given to the structure of the relevant homology groups. In Section 3, some rece...
متن کاملThe existence totally reflexive covers
Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian ring. We prove that over a local ring $R$ every finitely generated $R$-module $M$ of finite Gorenstein projective dimension has a Gorenstein projective cover$varphi:C rightarrow M$ such that $C$ is finitely generated and the projective dimension of $Kervarphi$ is finite and $varphi$ is surjective.
متن کاملPlanar functions over fields of characteristic two
Classical planar functions are functions from a finite field to itself and give rise to finite projective planes. They exist however only for fields of odd characteristic. We study their natural counterparts in characteristic two, which we also call planar functions. They again give rise to finite projective planes, as recently shown by the second author. We give a characterisation of planar fu...
متن کاملProjective Planes in Algebraically
We investigate the combinatorial geometry obtained from algebraic closure over a fixed subfield in an algebraically closed field. The main result classifies the subgeometries which are isomorphic to projective planes. This is applied to give new examples of algebraic characteristic sets of matroids. The main technique used, which is motivated by classical projective geometry, is that a particul...
متن کاملOn Codes of Bruck Nets and Projective Planes
We summarize some recent results concerning codes of finite nets, which are of interest in the search for non-Desarguesian planes of prime order and certain composite orders. The p-ranks of 3-nets are determined by algebraic properties of the defining loops, and p-ranks of k-nets admitting certain abelian groups of translations are bounded by algebraic properties of the groups. Here we discuss ...
