| Title of Talk | On a Group Associated With Projective Planes |
| Abstract | A pair of orthogonal Latin squares of order n is equivalent to a permutation on the set of ordered pairs of integers 1, ..., n. Since a projective plane of order n exists if and only if there exists a set of n-1 mutually orthogonal Latin squares of order n, the group generated by the above permutations may be of some interest in the study of projective planes. Relevant definitions and results of some investigations concerning these groups will be presented. |
