Abstract: | ![]() This paper is developed toI2(2g).c-geometries, namely, point-line-plane structures where planes are generalized 2g-gons with exactly two lines on every point and any two intersecting lines belong to a unique plane.I2(2g).c-geometries appear in several contexts, sometimes in connection with sporadic simple groups. Many of them are homomorphic images of truncations of geometries belonging to Coxeter diagrams. TheI2(2g).c-geometries obtained in this way may be regarded as the standard ones. We characterize them in this paper. For everyI2(2g).c-geometry , we define a numberw( ), which counts the number of times we need to walk around a 2g-gon contained in a plane of , building up a wall of planes around it, before closing the wall. We prove thatw( )=1 if and only if is standard and we apply that result to a number of special cases. |
