The authors study collineations and correlations of Moufang planes. They show that conjugacy classes of Baer involutions are not refined if one restricts the conjugating element to the stabilizer of a quadrangle, and then they establish an interrelation between Baer involutions and polarities. Finally, they use their results to prove a transitivity result for centralizers of polarities (Theorem 5.3).
