Dec 5, 2020 at 10:36 comment added Sean Eberhard Thanks for your comment, it is helpful. Incidentally I have learned that there is a "Dembowski--Piper classification" of large abelian subgroups of collineation groups of projective planes (desarguesian or not).
Dec 4, 2020 at 14:06 comment added Nick Gill I don't know of an easy reference, sorry. Lots of the elements in $P\Gamma L_3(K)$ have abelian centralizers I think. This is useful because (a) such centralizers must be maximum abelian subgroups; (b) if $g$ is an element with an abelian centralizer, then the only maximum abelian subgroup containing $g$ will be $C_G(g)$. You probably know this but anyway...
