On topological projective planes. II (Q1822053)

[For part 1 of this paper see Publ. Math. 32, 251-253 (1985; Zbl 0607.51008)]. The author gives a sufficient geometric condition for the space \({\mathcal P}\) of points of a topological projective plane to be homeomorphic to the space \({\mathcal L}\) of lines. This condition reads: There exist a triangle of points A, B, C and three projectivities f, g, h of \(a=BC\), \(b=CA\), \(c=AB\) onto themselves which interchange B and C, C and A, A and B, respectively, such that for any point \(P\neq A,B,C\) the points f(PA\(\cap a)\), g(PB\(\cap b)\), h(PC\(\cap c)\) are on a common lines \(l_ p\). - If this condition is fulfilled it is shown that the mapping \(\sigma\) which maps \(P\neq A,B,C\) onto \(l_ p\) and A, B, C into a, b, c, respectively, is indeed a homeomorphism from \({\mathcal P}\) onto \({\mathcal L}\). - However the geometric importance of this geometric condition is not made clear by the author. There are some misprints in the proof where f, g, h have to be replaced by their inverse mappings \(f^{\leftarrow}\), \(g^{\leftarrow}\), \(h^{\leftarrow}\) respectively: for any line \(l\neq a,b,c\) the lines \(f^{\leftarrow}\) (l\(\cap a)A\), \(g^{\leftarrow}(l\cap b)B\), \(h^{\leftarrow}(l\cap c)C\) pass through a common point \(P_ 1\), and the inverse mapping of \(\sigma\) maps \(l\neq a,b,c\) onto \(P_ 1\). However the geometric importance of this geometric condition is not made clear by the author.
