Embeddings of projective Klingenberg planes in the projective space PG(5,$\K$)Dirk Keppens and Hendrik Van MaldeghemDepartment of Industrial Engineering, KAHO Sint--Lieven, Gebr.

It is proved that if a PK-plane is fully embedded in $\PG(5,\K$), for some skewfield $\K$, then it is either isomorphic to the Desarguesian projective Klingenberg plane (projective Hjelmslev plane for bijective $\sigma$) $\PH(2,\D(\K,\sigma))$ over a ring of ordinary or twisted dual numbers or it is a subgeometry of an ordinary projective plane. As a consequence we have in the finite case that, if a projective Klingenberg plane of order $(qt,t)$ is embedded in PG(5,$q$), then it is a projective Hjelmslev plane $\PH(2,\D(q,\sigma))$ over a ring of ordinary or twisted dual numbers over the Galois field $\GF(q)$. The embeddings related to the twisted case are new. Keywords: projective Klingenberg plane, projective Hjelmslev plane, embedding, dual numbers Classification (MSC2000): 51C05, 51A45 Full text of the article:
