Review text

The authors provide the following substantial classification theorem in the theory of diagram geometries. Theorem. Let \(\Gamma\) be a finite flag-transitive geometry over the type set \(\{0,1,2\}\). Suppose that \(\Gamma\) belongs to a linear diagram of type PG.PG*, that is, the residues \(\Gamma_z\) with type\((z) = 2\) are projective spaces of dimension \(n_1\) and order \(q_1\) and the residues \(\Gamma_x\) with type\((x) = 0\) are dual projective spaces of dimension \(n_2\) and order \(q_2\). Then \(q_1 = q_2\), \(n_1 = n_2 =: n\) and \(\Gamma\) is a truncation of the building of type \(D_n\) over \(GF(q)\). For the entire collection see [Zbl 0985.00021].
