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:
“Sometimes in our relationship to another human being the proper balance of friendship is restored when we put a few grains of impropriety onto our own side of the scale.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“Most childhood problems don’t result from “bad” parenting, but are the inevitable result of the growing that parents and children do together. The point isn’t to head off these problems or find ways around them, but rather to work through them together and in doing so to develop a relationship of mutual trust to rely on when the next problem comes along.”
—Fred Rogers (20th century)
“Dandyism is the last flicker of heroism in decadent ages.... Dandyism is a setting sun; like the declining star, it is magnificent, without heat and full of melancholy. But alas! the rising tide of democracy, which spreads everywhere and reduces everything to the same level, is daily carrying away these last champions of human pride, and submerging, in the waters of oblivion, the last traces of these remarkable myrmidons.”
—Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
