Linearity for translation generalized quadrangles
Linearity for translation generalized quadrangles
Let be an infinite translation generalized quadrangle with translation group . Let be an affine point, meaning a point not collinear with , and let be the set of lines incident with . For each such line , put . Define to be the set of endomorphisms of that map every into itself. Then is a ring with multiplicative identity and without zero divisors, and , , and are left -modules. Linearity for TGQs. The ring is a skew field. This would provide the expected linearity result for infinite translation generalized quadrangles, analogous to the finite case, where the corresponding embedding in projective space over a skew field is known.
