On Flag-transitive Anomalous C 3 -geometries

چکیده
A nite C 3-geometry is called anomalous if it is neither a building nor the A 7-geometry. It is conjectured that no ag-transitive thick anomalous C 3-geometry exists. For a ag-transitive thick anomalous C 3-geometry, we prove that its 2-order y is odd and that its full automorphism group is non-solvable. As a corollary, there are no ag-transitive circular extensions of duals of anomalous C 3-geometries.

The Flag-transitive Tilde and Petersen-type Geometries Are All Known
We announce the classification of two related classes of flag-transitive geometries. There is an infinite family of such geometries, related to the nonsplit extensions 3 n 2 ] 2 ·Sp2n(2), and twelve sporadic examples coming from the simple groups M22, M23, M24, He, Co1, Co2, J4, BM , M and the nonsplit extensions 3 · M22, 323 · Co2, and 34371 · BM .
متن کاملA Geometric Characterization of Fischer's Baby Monster
The sporadic simple group F2 known as Fischer's Baby Monster acts flag-transitively on a rank 5 P-geometry G(F2). P-geometries are geometries with string diagrams, all of whose nonempty edges except one are projective planes of order 2 and one terminal edge is the geometry of the Petersen graph. Let AC be a flag-transitive P-geometry of rank 5. Suppose that each proper residue of K is isomorphi...
متن کاملA Construction of Extended Generalized Quadrangles Using the Veronesean
Given a finite generalized quadrangle Q, an extended generalized quadrangle is called an extension of Q if each point-residue is isomorphic to Q. There are several known examples of extended generalized quadrangles [4, §1.1], among which those admitting flag-transitive automorphism groups have been extensively studied in their close relations with group theory. Those flag-transitive geometries ...
متن کاملSome Exceptional 2-Adic Buildings
Tits [ 191 has initiated the study of geometries having properties strongly resembling those of buildings (compare [6]). His main result is that, in general, such a geometry is the image of a building under a suitable type of morphism. These geometries that are almost buildings were called GABS in [lo], and finite examples were described in [2, 8, 10, 15, 161 that are not buildings but have hig...
متن کاملSome local 1 y
This paper is a continuation of Kantor (4, 6] and Ronan [10]. We will construct finite and infinite 'geometries' admitting flag-transitive groups and having buildings as universal covers. The first building is that of {1+ (6, (Ji2); the remaining ones are new and strange. As in the aforementioned papers, our motivation is the search for finite geometries that strongly resemble buildings, and fo...
