## Abstract For a finite projective plane $\Pi$, let $\bar {\chi} (\Pi)$ denote the maximum number of classes in a partition of the point set, such that each line has at least two points in the same partition class. We prove that the best possible general estimate in terms of the order of projectiv

β¦ Synopsis
An explicit formula for the number of finite cyclic projective planes or planar . Ε½ . difference sets is derived by applying Ramanujan sums Von Sterneck numbers and Mobius inversion over the set partition lattice to counting one-to-one solution vectors of multivariable linear congruences.

In this paper rooted loopless (near) 4-regular maps on surfaces such as the sphere and the projective plane are counted and exact formulae with up to three or four parameters for such maps are given. Several classical results on regular maps and one-faced maps are deduced.
Let X be the surface obtained by blowing up general points p 1 p n of the projective plane over an algebraically closed ground field k, and let L be the pullback to X of a line on the plane. If C is a rational curve on X with C β’ L = d, then for every t there is a natural map C C t β X X L β C C t +
The homogeneous coordinate ring of a quantum projective plane is a 3-dimensional ArtinαSchelter regular algebra with the same Hilbert series as the polynomial ring in three variables; such an algebra A is a graded noncommutative analogue of the polynomial ring in three variables. When A is a finite
In one of his papers [2], A. Neumaier constructed a rank 4 incidence geometry on which the alternating group of degree 8 acts flag-transitively. This geometry is quite important since its point residue is the famous A 7 -geometry which is known to be the only flag-transitive locally classical C 3 -g
We construct by computer all of the hyperovals in the 22 known projective planes of order 16. Our most interesting result is that four of the planes contain no hyperovals, thus providing counterexamples to the old conjecture that every finite projective plane contains an oval.
