Abstract: In this paper, projective representations of generalized chain geometries are investigated, using the concepts and results of part I. In particular, we study under which conditions such a projective representation maps the chains of a generalized chain geometry $Sigma(F,R)$ to reguli; this mainly depends on how the field $F$ is embedded in the ring $R$. Moreover, we determine all bijective morphisms of a certain class of generalized chain geometries with the help of projective representations.

Review text

The authors continue the study of projective representations for the projective line \(PG(1,R)\) [part I in ibid., 287-299 (2000; Zbl 0992.51001 above)]. For a generalized chain geometry \(\Sigma (F,R)\) where \(R\) is a ring with unit 1 containing a subfield \(F\) with \(1\in F\), they investigate under which conditions the chains are mapped to reguli under the projective representation. Finally it is shown for a particular class of chain geometries how projective models can be used to determine all isomorphisms for that class.
