As a consequence of the recent implementation of finite near-fields,
constructions for finite planes belonging to families whose definition
is based on near-fields have been implemented.
New Features:
- The function ProjectivePlane(N) returns the non-Desarguesian
projective plane coordinatised by the nearfield N
.
- The function HughesPlane(N) returns the Hughes plane obtained
from the near-field N
. Note that N
can be either a Dickson nearfield
or a Zassenhaus nearfield. (In the literature, the planes obtained from
Zassenhaus nearfields are often called generalised Hughes planes.)
