The automorphism groups of the congruence group and of some of its subgroups in finite Euclidean planes

In the affine plane over a Galois field GF(q), q ; 3(4), q = p, of congruence transformations, of motions and of the generation of all point reflections respectively. Then we determine the groups AutC, AutM, AutM and obtain the following results: 1. Aut C is isomorphic to the product of the augmented group of similarities (generated by similarities, quasi reflections, quasi rotations 2) and the group of collineations which are induced by the automorphism of GF(q) operating on the coordinates. 2. AutM– AutC. 3. AutM– group of affinities of the affine space of dimension 2 over the prime field. 4. Moreover for any desarguesian affine plane Aut Dil (Dil = group of dilatations) is isomorphic to (the full collineation group).Lecture delivered at the Haifa Geometry conference 1983In my lecture I called these transformations semi-. To avoid confusion I follow here a suggestion of E. Schröder.
