A family of flat Minkowski planes admitting 3-dimensional simple groups of automorphisms
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we construct a new family of flat Minkowski planes of group dimension 3. These planes share the positive half with the classical real Minkowski plane and admit simple groups of automorphisms isomorphic to PSL2ðRÞ acting diagonally on the torus. We further determine the full automorphism groups and the Klein–Kroll types of these flat Minkowski planes. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification. MSC 2000: 51H15, 51B20

On the Klein–Kroll types of flat Minkowski planes
Klein and Kroll classified Minkowski planes with respect to subgroups of central automorphisms and obtained a multitude of types. Some of these types are known to exist only in finite Minkowski planes or as the type of a proper subgroup in the automorphism group. In this paper we investigate the Klein– Kroll types of flat Minkowski planes with respect to the full automorphism groups of these pl...
متن کاملFinite elation Laguerre planes admitting a two-transitive group on their set of generators
We investigate finite elation Laguerre planes admitting a group of automorphisms that is two-transitive on the set of generators. We exclude the sporadic cases of socles in two-transitive groups, as well as the cases with abelian socle (except for the smallest ones, where the Laguerre planes are Miquelian of order at most four). The remaining cases are dealt with in a separate paper. As a conse...
متن کاملNon-Classical 4-Dimensional Minkowski Planes Obtained as Brothers of Semiclassical 4-Dimensional Laguerre Planes
We describe the first non-classical 4-dimensional Minkowski planes and show that they have 6-dimensional automorphism groups. These planes are obtained by a construction of Schroth [18] from generalized quadrangles associated with the semiclassical 4-dimensional Laguerre planes. All 4-dimensional Minkowski planes that can be obtained in this way from the semiclassical 4-dimensional Laguerre pla...
متن کاملA flat Laguerre plane of Kleinewillinghöfer type V ∗
Kleinewillinghöfer types of Laguerre planes reflect transitivity properties of certain groups of central automorphisms. In the case of flat Laguerre planes, Polster and Steinke have shown that some of the conceivable types cannot exist, and they gave models for most of the other types. Only few types are still in doubt. One of them is type V.A.1, whose existence we prove here. In order to const...
متن کاملOD-characterization of $U_3(9)$ and its group of automorphisms
Let $L = U_3(9)$ be the simple projective unitary group in dimension 3 over a field with 92 elements. In this article, we classify groups with the same order and degree pattern as an almost simple group related to $L$. Since $Aut(L)equiv Z_4$ hence almost simple groups related to $L$ are $L$, $L : 2$ or $L : 4$. In fact, we prove that $L$, $L : 2$ and $L : 4$ are OD-characterizable.
