Desarguesian spreads (Q547267)

Let \(V\) be a left vector space over a skew field \(K\) and let \( PG(V,K)\) be the projective geometry of the \(K\)-subspaces of \(V\). A spread of \(PG(V,K)\) is a family of mutually skew isomorphic subspaces that is a partition of the point set. The authors give a complete and self-contained proof of the characterization of desarguesian spreads of a projective space and differentiate between a normal and regular spread. They characterize the family of planar spreads associated with a given translation plane, prove the unicity, up to isomorphism, of the normal spread of a finite projective space, and prove the isomorphism theorem for finite translation generalized quadrangles.
