In their paper (1967, Math. Z. 99, 53 75) P. Dembowski and F. C. Piper gave a classification of quasiregular collineation groups of finite projective planes. In the case (d) or (g) in their list the corresponding group, say G, has a subset D satisfying that (V) there exist mutually disjoint subgroup

Building sets are a successful tool for constructing semi-regular divisible difference sets and, in particular, semi-regular relative difference sets. In this paper, we present an extension theorem for building sets under simple conditions. Some of the semi-regular relative difference sets obtained
We investigate the existence of cyclic relative difference sets with parameters ((q d &1)Â(q&1), n, q d&1 , q d&2 (q&1)Ân), q any prime power. One can think of these as ``liftings'' or ``extensions'' of the complements of Singer difference sets. When q is odd or d is even, we find that relative diff
gave two new constructions for semi-regular relative di!erence sets (RDSs). They asked if the two constructions could be uni"ed. In this paper, we show that the two constructions are closely related. In fact, the second construction should be viewed as an extension of the "rst. Furthermore, we gener
Planar functions from ޚ to ޚ are studied in this paper. By investigating the n n character values of the corresponding relative difference sets, we obtain some nonexistence results of planar functions. In particular, we show that there is no planar functions from Z to ޚ , where p and q are any
