Uniqueness of the projective plane underlying a partial geometry from a maximal arc

Let GG be a partial geometry with parameters (s,t,α)(s,t,\alpha) as in the paper, for integers d2d\ge 2 and d2d'\ge 2, and let q=ddq=dd'. Suppose that GG arises from a maximal arc of degree dd in a projective plane of order qq via the paper's Construction. Uniqueness conjecture. Either GG does not arise from such a maximal arc, or GG is obtainable from exactly one projective plane of order qq via that Construction. This conjecture formalizes the observed uniqueness of the projective plane in the known examples; its general status is not resolved in the supplied text.
