Which finite projective planes can have a symmetric incidence matrix?
The key word here is "polarity". A polarity of a projective plane with point set $P$ and line set $L$ is a map $\pi$ from $P \cup L$ to itself mapping points to lines and lines to points, such that $\ …

What is the automorphism group of this geometry?
Your geometry has the property that each of its rank 2 restrictions is a Fano plane. In particular, the type-preserving automorphism group (let's call it $G$) is a subgroup of the automorphism group o …

Synthetic projective lines
Following up on Matthias Wendt's comment, the language of Moufang sets is indeed a suitable axiomatic approach to (generalizations of) projective lines.
Formally speaking, a Moufang set is a set $X$ …

Ree groups and Moufang octagons
Only having $k$ as subfield of $\ell$ is not sufficient (for both questions). The Ree groups (and the generalized octagons) are determined by a pair $(k, \theta)$, where $k$ is a field of characterist …
