✦ Synopsis

Apart from hyperovals and their duals there are only three classes of maximal arcs known in Desarguesian projective planes. Two classes are due to J. A. Thas and one to R. H. F. Denniston. In this paper collineation stabiliser and isomorphism problems for those maximal arcs in Desarguesian projective planes are examined. The full collineation stabilisers of the known maximal arcs are calculated, and it is shown that all of one class of Thas maximal arcs and those of the second class of Thas maximal arcs in Desarguesian projective planes arising from elliptic quadrics are isomorphic to those of Denniston. The final result is to classify maximal arcs in Desarguesian projective planes whose collineation stabilisers are transitive on the points of the maximal arcs.

Constructions are described of maximal arcs in Desarguesian projective planes utilizing sets of conics on a common nucleus in PG(2, q). Several new infinite families of maximal arcs in PG(2, q) are presented and a complete enumeration is carried out for Desarguesian planes of order 16, 32, and 64. F

We show that S n has at most n 6Â11+o(1) conjugacy classes of primitive maximal subgroups. This improves an n c log 3 n bound given by Babai. We conclude that the number of conjugacy classes of maximal subgroups of S n is of the form ( 12 +o(1))n. It also follows that, for large n, S n has less than

In a recent paper R. Mathon gave a new construction method for maximal arcs in finite Desarguesian projective planes that generalised a construction of Denniston. He also gave several instances of the method to construct new maximal arcs. In this paper, the structure of the maximal arcs is examined
