A translation plane of order 25 and its full collineation group

Ostrom proposed classifications of translation planes on the basis of the action of the collineation group of the plane on the ideal points. There are examples of translation planes in which ideal points form a single orbit (flag transitive planes) and also several orbits (Hall, André, Foulser, and so forth, planes). In this paper the authors have constructed a translation plane in which the ideal points are divided into two orbits of lengths 18 and 8 respectively. A few collineatlons are computed together with their actions. The group of collineations G1 which is transitive on the two sets of 18 and 8 lines separately is calculated. All the collineations that fix L0 are also calculated and they form a group of. If G2 is the group of translations then the full collineation group is shown to be 〈G1, G2, G3〉.
