On translation planes of order \(q^ 3\) that admit a collineation group of order \(q^ 3\). II (Q1900091)

This paper is a continuation of the paper (*) with the same title by the author and \textit{C. Suetake} [ibid. 55, No. 1, 1-57 (1995; see the paper above)]. The author considers translation planes of order \(q^3\) with kernel containing \(GF(q)\) which admit a collineation group \(G\) of the same order \(q^3\) in the translation complement such that \(G\) fixes one point at infinity and acts transitively on the remaining points at infinity. He proves that any such plane is a semifield plane or an elusive plane or a desirable plane, where desirable and elusive planes were defined in the paper (*). The proof is essentially based on that paper; in fact, finding matrix representation for possible groups \(G\) the author proves that if the elation group \(E\) of \(G\) has rank less than \(q^3\), then \(E\) has rank \(q\) and \(G/E\) is abelian, and then the results of (*) can be applied.
