Review text

The author starts from the remarkable inclusion \(\mathrm{SL}(2,13)< \mathrm{Sp}(6,3)< \mathrm{GL}(6,3)\) of groups, cf. \textit{C. Hering} [Abh. Math. Semin. Univ. Hamb. 34, 203--208 (1970; Zbl 0195.50204) and Lect. Notes Pure Appl. Math. 103, 127--129 (1985; Zbl 0598.51009)]. He analyzes the action of \(\mathrm{SL}(2,13)\) on the corresponding projective space, and he determines all ``interesting maximal truncations of the pregeometry obtained from the action on the affine space \(\mathrm{AG}(6,3)\). In addition to Hering's examples, this gives further geometries with a flag-transitive group \(3^6:\mathrm{SL}(2,13)\). [For the entire collection see Zbl 0727.00008.]
