Projective Planes in Algebraically
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 particular configuration of four lines and six points in the geometry indicates the presence of a connected one-dimensional algebraic group.

9 Combinatorial Geometries of Field Extensions
We classify the algebraic combinatorial geometries of arbitrary field extensions of transcendence degree greater than 4 and describe their groups of automorphisms. Our results and proofs extend similar results and proofs by Evans and Hrushovski in the case of algebraically closed fields. The classification of projective planes in algebraic combinatorial geometries in arbitrary fields of charact...
متن کاملCombinatorial Geometries of the Field Extensions
We classify projective planes in algebraic combinatorial geometries in arbitrary fields of characteristic zero. We investigate the first-order theories of such geometries and pregeometries. Then we classify the algebraic combinatorial geometries of arbitrary field extensions of the transcendence degree ≥ 5 and describe their groups of automorphisms. Our results and proofs extend similar results...
متن کاملOn Finding Fields from Their Algebraic Closure Geometries
It is shown that if F\ and Fi are algebraically closed fields of nonzero characteristic p and F\ is not isomorphic to a subfield of F2 , then F\ does not embed in the skew field of quotients 0Fj of the ring of morphisms of the additive group of F2 . From this fact and results of Evans and Hrushovski, it is deduced that the algebraic closure geometries G(K¡/Fi) and (7(^2/^2) are isomorphic if an...
متن کاملSmooth Projective Planes
Using symplectic topology and the Radon transform, we prove that smooth 4-dimensional projective planes are diffeomorphic to CP. We define the notion of a plane curve in a smooth projective plane, show that plane curves in high dimensional regular planes are lines, prove that homeomorphisms preserving plane curves are smooth collineations, and prove a variety of results analogous to the theory ...
متن کاملReconstructing Projective Planes from Semibiplanes
From a projective plane Π with a homology τ of order 2, one obtains an incidence system having as points and blocks the 〈τ〉-orbits of length 2 on the points and lines of Π, and with incidence inherited from Π. The resulting structure, denoted by Π/τ , is an example of a homology semibiplane. We have shown that a Desarguesian projective plane of odd prime order is uniquely reconstructible from i...
