On Algorithm Constructing Baer Subplanes of Hall plane

Abstract

In this study, we construct an algorithm (implemented in C) to determine Baer subplanes of the projective plane of order 9 coordinatized by elements of a left nearfield of order 9 and classify these subplanes. Also, affine planes embedded in Baer subplanes are determined.

Keywords

• Affine plane
• projective plane
• near field
• baer subplane
