Locally affine geometries of order 2 where shrinkings are affine expansions


Abstract


Given a locally a affine geometry Γ of order 2 and a flag-transitive subgroup G ≤ Aut(Γ), suppose that the shrinkings of Γ are isomorphic to the a affine expansion of the upper residue of a line of Γ by a homogeneous representation in a 2-group. We shall prove that, under certain hypotheses on the stabilizers Gp and Gl of a point p and a line l, we have G=R{Gp} for a representation group R of Res(p). We also show how to apply this result in the classification of flag-transitive c-extended P- and T-geometries.
