Semi-simple groups of compact 16-dimensional planes

Abstract: The automorphism group Sigma of a compact topological projective plane with a 16-dimensional point space is a locally compact group. If the dimension of Sigma is at least 29, then Sigma is known to be a Lie group. For the connected component Delta of Sigma the condition dimDelta,ge,27 suffices. Depending on the structure of Delta and the configuration of the fixed elements of Delta sharper bounds are obtained here. Example: If Delta is semi-simple and fixes exactly one line and possibly several points on this line, then Delta is a Lie group if dimDelta,ge,11. Any semi-simple group Delta which satisfies dimDelta,ge,25 is a Lie group.
