A compact projective plane is isomorphic to the classical Moufang plane if it admits an automorphism group of dimension at least 38 which fixes a non-incident point-line pair.

The classification of 4-dimensional compact projective planes having a 7-dimensional collineation group is completed. Besides one single shift plane all such planes are either translation planes or dual translation planes.
Compact connected topological planes of dimension d ~< 4 have been studied extensively, and rather conclusive results have been obtained. In particular, the point set P is homeomorphic to the real or complex projective plane, and the lines are one-or two-spheres respectively. Moreover, non-degenerat
