Thetranslation planes of order 81 admitting SL(2,5)


Abstract


Johnson and Prince have classified all translation planes of order 81 that admit SL(2,5), where the 3-elements are elations. In this article, it is shown that whenever SL(2,5) acts as a collineation group on a translation plane of order 81, the problem can always be reduced to the elation case. Hence, there is a complete classification of all translation planes of order 81 admitting SL(2,5); there are exactly 14 translation planes of order 81 admitting SL(2,5).
