In this paper, we show that the full algebraic combinatorial geometry is not a projective geometry, it is only semimodular, but the p-polynomial points give a projective subgeometry. Also, we show that the subgeometry can be coordinatized by a skew field, which is quotient ring of an Ore domain. As

✦ Synopsis
A set of points, S ⊆ P G (r, q), is said to be -saturating if, for any point x ∈ P G(r, q), there exist + 1 points in S that generate a subspace in which x lies. The cardinality of a smallest possible set S with this property is denoted by k(r, q, ). We give a short survey of what is known about k(r, q, 1) and present new results for k(r, q, 2) for small values of r and q. One construction presented proves that k(5, q, 2) ≤ 3q + 1 for q = 2, q ≥ 4. We further give an upper bound on k( + 1, p m , ).

We introduce the notion of a Barbilian space of a projective lattice geometry in order to investigate the relationship between lattice-geometric properties and the properties of pointhyperplane structures associated with. We obtain a chracterization of those projective lattice geometries, the Barbil
