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 and/or spreads:
“Guilty, guilty, guilty is the chant divorced parents repeat in their heads. This constant reminder remains just below our consciousness. Nevertheless, its presence clouds our judgment, inhibits our actions, and interferes in our relationship with our children. Guilt is a major roadblock to building a new life for yourself and to being an effective parent.”
—Stephanie Marston (20th century)
“Apeneck Sweeney spreads his knees
Letting his arms hang down to laugh,
The zebra strips along his jaw
Swelling to maculate giraffe.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
