Handbook of Finite Translation Planes

Completing a three-volume work by the authors, this handbook provides a complete description of all known finite translation planes. It presents the classification results and proofs for translation planes, offers a full review of all recognized construction techniques for translation planes, and illustrates known examples. The authors describe derivable nets, parallelisms, translation nets and planes, spreads, classes, and various geometries intrinsic to translation planes, including flocks of quadric sets and generalized quadrangles. As a compendium of examples, processes, construction techniques, and models, the handbook equips you with precise information for finding a particular plane.
