Some classes of point-line geometries

Abstract

The intention of this section is to give a survey (without proofs) of some of the most important families of point-line geometries, and to mention several of their basic properties. Several classes of these geometries will be further investigated in subsequent chapters. Proofs of most of these properties will be given as exercises in Appendix A or will occur in later chapters. For the remaining (most difficult) properties however, an explicit reference to the literature will be given.
