Informationen zum Autor Norman Johnson, Vikram Jha, Mauro Biliotti Klappentext Completing a three-volume work by the authors! this handbook provides a complete description of all known finite translation planes. It presents the classification results and proofs for translation planes! offers a full review of all recognized construction techniques for translation planes! and illustrates known examples. The authors describe derivable nets! parallelisms! translation nets and planes! spreads! classes! and various geometries intrinsic to translation planes! including flocks of quadric sets and generalized quadrangles. As a compendium of examples! processes! construction techniques! and models! the handbook equips you with precise information for finding a particular plane. Zusammenfassung Offers a comprehensive listing of the various translation planes derived from a fundamental construction technique, an explanation of the classes of translation planes using both descriptions and construction methods, and sketches of the major relevant theorems.
