Review text

[For entire collection see Zbl 0704.00023.] All known finite \(C_ n\)-geometries, with \(n\geq 4\) and thick lines, are buildings. The restriction on \(n\) is essential, because of the existence of the \(A_ 7\)-geometry, which is a flat (non building) \(C_ 3\)- geometry. The present paper shows that all \(C_ n\)-geometries, with \(n\geq 4\), having thick lines and ``known parameters, are buildings. It is said that a finite geometry over the diagram \[ \underset {x}\bullet{\text{---}}\underset {x}\bullet\cdots\underset {x}\bullet{\text{---}}\underset {x}\bullet{=}\underset {y}\bullet\qquad x>1 \] has known parameters if the pair \((x,y)\) satisfies one of the 9 relations listed in the paper, each of them arising from a known family of generalized quadrangles of order \((x,y)\). The paper gives also a good survey of all results related to its title! For the entire collection see [Zbl 0749.14015].
