Let $\kappa$ be an infinite cardinal. Then we call $F\subseteq{\cal P}(\kappa)$ a Fano plane on $\kappa$ if

  1. $\bigcup F = \kappa$,; $|F|=\kappa$,; and $a\in F \implies |a| = \kappa$$|a| = \kappa$ for all $|a|\in F$,
  2. if $a\neq b\in F$ then $|a\cap b|=1$, and
  3. if $x\neq y\in\kappa$ there is $a\in F$ such that $x,y\in a$ (note that by 2. above, this $a$ is uniquely determined).

Infinite Fano planes

Let $\kappa$ be an infinite cardinal. Then we call $F\subseteq{\cal P}(\kappa)$ a Fano plane on $\kappa$ if

  1. $\bigcup F = \kappa$, $|F|=\kappa$, and $a\in F \implies |a| = \kappa$,
  2. if $a\neq b\in F$ then $|a\cap b|=1$, and
  3. if $x\neq y\in\kappa$ there is $a\in F$ such that $x,y\in a$ (note that by 2. above, this $a$ is uniquely determined).
