Collineations and dualities of partial geometries

چکیده
In this paper, we first prove some general results on the number of fixed points of collineations of finite partial geometries, and on the number of absolute points of dualities of partial geometries. In the second part of the paper, we establish the number of isomorphism classes of partial geometries arising from a Thas maximal arc constructed from a (finite) Suzuki-Tits ovoid in a classical projective plane. We also determine the full automorphism group of these structures, and show that every partial geometry arising from any Thas maximal arc is self-dual.

Adjacency preserving mappings
In a certain class of point-line geometries, called locally projective near polygons, which includes dual polar spaces and generalised 2n-gons, surjective adjacency preserving mappings are already collineations.
متن کاملIsometries of polyhedral Hilbert geometries
We show that the isometry group of a polyhedral Hilbert geometry coincides with its group of collineations (projectivities) if and only if the polyhedron is not an n-simplex with n ≥ 2. Moreover, we determine the isometry group of the Hilbert geometry on the n-simplex for all n ≥ 2, and find that it has the collineation group as an index-two subgroup. These results confirm, for the class of pol...
متن کاملOn the Characterization of Collineations of the Segre Product of Strongly Connected Partial Linear Spaces
In this paper we characterize the automorphisms (collineations) of the Segre product of partial linear spaces. In particular, we show that if all components of the product are strongly connected, then every collineation is determined by a set of isomorphisms between its components. The formalization follows the ideas presented in the Journal of Geometry paper [16] by Naumowicz and Prażmowski.
متن کاملOn collineations and dualities of finite generalized polygons
In this paper we generalize a result of Benson to all finite generalized polygons. In particular, given a collineation θ of a finite generalized polygon S, we obtain a relation between the parameters of S and, for various natural numbers i, the number of points x which are mapped to a point at distance i from x by θ. As a special case we consider generalized 2n-gons of order (1, t) and determin...
