Two-transitive parabolic ovals (Q5944989)

Let \(\pi\) be an affine plane of even order \(n\). If the projective extension of \(\pi\) contains an oval \(\Omega\) which intersects the line of infinity in a single point then \(\Omega\) is called a parabolic oval. Furthermore, if there exists a collineation group \(G_\Omega\) leaving \(\Omega\) invariant and acting 2-transitively on the affine points of \(\Omega\) then \(\Omega\) is called a 2-transitive parabolic oval. The main results of the paper are: \(\pi\) is Desarguesian if \(\pi\) possesses a 2-transitive parabolic oval and if one of the following four conditions holds: 1. \(\pi\) is a generalized twisted field plane. 2. \(\pi\) is a translation plane of order \(n\neq 2^6\) with abelian group \(G_{\Omega,0}\). 3. \(\pi\) is a generalized André plane. 4. \(\pi\) has order \(n\neq 2^6\) and possesses another 2-transitive parabolic oval \(\Omega'\neq \Omega\) so that \(\Omega\) and \(\Omega'\) share at least two affine points. Remark: The odd order case of the above result has already been treated by \textit{M. R. Enea} and \textit{G. Korchmaros} [Arch. Math. 69, 259-264 (1997; Zbl 0902.51005)].
