Partial Geometries
One can construct partial geometries, derived from maximal arcs:
- Let K be a maximal arc with degree d. Consider the incidence structure, where P contains all points of the projective plane not on K, B contains all line of the projective plane intersecting K in d points, and the incidence I is the natural inclusion. This is a partial geometry : .
- Consider the space and let K a maximal arc of degree in a two-dimensional subspace . Consider an incidence structure where P contains all the points not in, B contains all lines not in and intersecting in a point in K, and I is again the natural inclusion. is again a partial geometry : .

Famous quotes containing the word partial:
“There is no luck in literary reputation. They who make up the final verdict upon every book are not the partial and noisy readers of the hour when it appears; but a court as of angels, a public not to be bribed, not to be entreated, and not to be overawed, decides upon every man’s title to fame. Only those books come down which deserve to last.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
