Abstract: In this paper we introduce and investigate virtual points of spherical circle planes and use them to construct several new types of separating sets of circles in such geometries. Two spherical circle planes combine very naturally into another spherical circle plane if they share such a separating set of circles.

Keywords: spherical circle planes, flat Möbius planes, separating sets, virtual points

Classification (MSC2000): 51B10, 51H15
