Review text

This is an extensive study of Baer subgeometry partitions (BSG's) stimulated by recent findings of BSG's of small order projective planes by Mathon and Hamilton. It contains, among other results, (1) a classification of the BSG's of \(PG(2,q^2)\) that admit an automorphism group fixing one \(PG(2,q)\) and acting transitively on the remaining \(PG(2,q)\)'s (the only even \(q\)'s possible under these hypotheses being 2 and 4); (2) several results on deficiency-one BSG's \({\mathcal P}\) of \(PG(2m, q^2)\) with \(m>1\), such as (a) a deficiency-one BSG may be uniquely extended to a BSG; (b) if \({\mathcal P}\) admits a transitive group which leaves invariant a point of the adjoined \(PG(2m, q)\) and is solvable, then \(q=2\) or 4; (3) a doubly transitive BSG of \(PG(2m, q^2)\), with \((q, 2m+1)\neq (2,5)\) is classical and the associated translation plane is Desarguesian of order 8, 27, or 64.
