Baer involutions fixing the same plane

Let $\mathbf{PG}(2,q^2)$ be the finite projective plane defined over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_{q^2}$. Then for each quadrangle, there is precisely one involution fixing it pointwise, and hence ...

Anti-flag transitive affine planes

Let $\mathcal{A}$ be an axiomatic affine plane. First let $\mathcal{A}$ be finite. Suppose that the automorphism group of $\mathcal{A}$ acts transitively on nonincident point-line pairs (that is, on ...

On the determinant of incidence matrices (of graphs and other geometries)

Let $\Gamma = (P,L,I)$ be a point-line geometry (here, $P$ is the point set, $L$ the line set, and $I$ is the symmetric incidence relation). (As an example, $\Gamma$ could be a graph.) I suppose $\...
