The flag-transitive affine planes of order 125 are completely classified. There are five such planes.
For any odd prime power q, all (q 2 &q+1)th roots of unity clearly lie in the extension field F q 6 of the Galois field F q of q elements. It is easily shown that none of these roots of unity have trace &2, and the only such roots of trace &3 must be primitive cube roots of unity which do not belong
In this paper, we prove the following theorem: Suppose there exists a cyclic afhne plane of even order n. Then (a) either n = 2 or n = 0 (mod 4), and (b) for each prime divisor p of n, we have either (p/q) = 1 for each prime q 1 n2 -1 or for some positive integer r (which depends on p), n+lIp'+land
