Relationship To Spreads
Translation planes are related to spreads in finite projective spaces by the André/Bruck-Bose construction. A spread of is a set of q2 + 1 lines, with no two intersecting. Equivalently, it is a partition of the points of into lines.
Given a spread of, the André/Bruck-Bose construction1 produces a translation plane of order q2 as follows: Embed as a hyperplane of . Define an incidence structure with "points," the points of not on and "lines" the planes of meeting in a line of . Then is a translation affine plane of order q2. Let be the projective completion of .

Famous quotes containing the words relationship to, relationship and/or spreads:
“Film music should have the same relationship to the film drama that somebody’s piano playing in my living room has to the book I am reading.”
—Igor Stravinsky (1882–1971)
“The relationship between mother and professional has not been a partnership in which both work together on behalf of the child, in which the expert helps the mother achieve her own goals for her child. Instead, professionals often behave as if they alone are advocates for the child; as if they are the guardians of the child’s needs; as if the mother left to her own devices will surely damage the child and only the professional can rescue him.”
—Elaine Heffner (20th century)
“I see in you the estuary that enlarges and spreads itself grandly as it
pours in the great sea.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
