Two notes on the axiomatics of structures with parallelism


Abstract


We provide: (1) an independent quantifier-free axiomatization for André's central translation structures and state a conjecture, which, if true, would show a very strong connection between central translation structures and translation planes; (2) a first-order axiomatization of Everett’s and Permutti’s affine geometries over rings without zero divisors in which any two non-zero elements have a right greatest common divisor.
