A NOTE ON PAPPIAN AFINNE PLANES
Abstract
In (Schmidt and SteinitZ,-1996); an affine plane with Jixed basis ~I ,t2,0}
is coordinated. Then, a ternary operation T on R which is a set of points
on I which is dependent on the coordinate system 11,/2, t is deJined. In
addition, two different binary operation denoted by +,. on R using ternary
operation T. After then, it is showed that (R,+,.) is a division ring. In
this paper, Jirst of all we examined the relation between (R, T) ternary ring
and Desargues postulate in aJine plane. After then, we showed that (R,+,.)
is Jield in case affine plane satisfies Pappus Theorem. This results appeared
in theJirst author's Msc thesis.
