      Fractional dimensional semifield planes (English)
      0 references
      The dimension of an affine plane \(\pi\) of order \(n\) relative to a subplane \(\pi_0\) of order \(m\) is defined as \(\log_m n\). If \(\pi\) is Desarguesian, then this dimension is an integer. The authors provide several examples of semifields of order \(2^t, t\) odd, having a subfield of order 4. The corresponding translation planes thus have dimension \(t\over 2\) over a translation subplane.
