Exceptional Lenz-Barlotti classes IVa.3 and IVb.3
On this web-site, devoted to the Lenz-Barlotti classification of projective planes, it is written that the class IVa.3 (and its dual IVb.3) is somewhat exceptional, because it contains exactly one ...

An algebraic characterization of dual translation projective planes
It is well-known that translation projective planes are coordinatized by quasifields. More precisely, a projective plane is translation if and only if it has a ternary-ring $R$ which is linear, the ...

What is $(C, D, \delta, \gamma)$ and $(C, \delta; D, \gamma)$ Desarguesian?
A projective plane is $(C, \gamma)$-Desarguesian if for any 2 triangles $A_1 B_1 C_1, A_2 B_2 C_2$ in perspective from $C$ (which means $C \in A_1 A_2, B_1 B_2, C_1 C_2$) such that $A_1 B_1 \cap A_2 ...

Can any properties of a ring other than being a field be captured by the geometry of its 2-dimensional free module?
Can any properties of a ring other than being a field be captured by the geometry of its 2-dimensional free module?
Background:
In his wonderful, wonderful book Geometric Algebra, Emil Artin describes ...
