Abstract: For quasifields, the concept of parastrophy is slightly weaker than isotopy. Parastrophic quasifields yield isomorphic translation planes but not conversely. We investigate the right multiplication groups of finite quasifields. We classify all quasifields having an exceptional finite transitive linear group as right multiplication group. The classification is up to parastrophy, which turns out to be the same as up to the isomorphism of the corresponding translation planes.

Review text

Translation planes are related to quasifields, besides it is not a one to one correspondence. The right multiplication group of a quasifield is a linear group acting transitively on the nontrivial vectors of a vectorspace. Finite transitive linear groups have been determined by \textit{C. Hering} [Geom. Dedicata 2, 425--460 (1974; Zbl 0292.20045); J. Algebra 93, 151--164 (1985; Zbl 0583.20003)] and \textit{M. Liebeck} [Proc. Lond. Math. Soc. 54, 57--72 (1995)]. There are four families and 27 exceptional examples. This paper deals with the exceptional groups and gives a classification of those quasifield whose right multiplication group is one of the exceptional groups.
