Ovals in a plane coordinatised by a regular nearfield of dimension 2 over its centre (Q2573759)

\textit{L. A. Rosati} showed that every sharply 3-transitive permutation group \(G\) gives rise to an affine plane \(\pi\) whose projective closure contains ovals [Boll. Unione Mat. Ital., IV. Ser. 4, 463--467 (1971; Zbl 0229.50027)]. Such ovals are of hyperbolic type. For finite groups, the degree of \(G\) is equal to \(n+1\) where \(n\) is a prime power, and two cases occur: 1. \(\pi\) is Desarquesian plane of order \(n\), 2. \(\pi\) is the affine plane coordinatised by the regular nearfield \(N(n)\) of order \(n\) and dimension 2 over its centre. In the present paper, the nearfield case is investigated further. It turns out that the ovals due to Rosati are equivalent under the collineations group of \(\pi\) (Rosati ovals). Further, the Rosati oval is of dihedral type as preserved by dihedral group \(D\) of order \(2(n -1)\) such that (i) any two distinct involutions in \(D\) have exactly one common affine fixed point, and (ii) some noncentral involution in \(D\) is an affine homology, that is, a homology whose axis is an affine line of \(\pi\). The main result introduces that the Rosati oval is the only transitive hyperbolic oval of dihedral type in the regular nearfield plane of dimension 2 over its centre.
