Moufang identities and Moufang plane
A very accessible book for such connections between geometric and algebraic properties in general, is John Faulkner's "The Role of Nonassociative Algebra in Projective Geometry" (https://bookstore.ams …

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 $\ …

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 $X$ …

Embedding $\mathrm{PGL}(n,q^h)$ in $\mathrm{PGL}(nh,q)$
It is not very hard to see that for each prime power $q$ and natural numbers $n,h$, we have an embedding
$$\iota \colon \mathrm{GL}(n,q^h) \hookrightarrow \mathrm{GL}(nh, q),$$
obtained by choosing a …
