Covers of finite geometries with non-spherical minimal circuit diagram

Part of the Lecture Notes in Mathematics book series (LNMCIME,volume 1181)

Abstract

In this paper we want to show how truncations can be used to study covers. In particular, we use trucations to investigate universal covers of geometries with non-spherical minimal circuit diagram.
