In the special case where this set has a span of dimension 3, a second dualization leads to a more convenient object, called a generalized star of lines. Both constructions have later been simplified by the author. Here we refine our simplified approach in order to obtain similar results for regular parallelisms of oriented lines. As a consequence, we can demonstrate that for oriented parallelisms, as we call them, there are distinctly more possibilities than in the non-oriented case. The proofs require a thorough analysis of orientation in projective spaces (as manifolds and as lattices) and in projective planes and, in particular, in translation planes. This is used in order to handle continuous families of oriented regular spreads in terms of the Klein model of PG(3, ℝ). This turns out to be quite subtle. Even the definition of suitable classes of dual objects modeling oriented parallelisms is not so obvious.","PeriodicalId":7335,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Geometry","volume":"85 6","pages":"561 - 577"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2022-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41288677","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Among the eight non-trivial Norton–Sakuma algebras, four algebras are closed on the set of Majorana generators. These algebras are 2A, 2B, 3C and 4B. The classification of Majorana representations restricted to the closed shapes was anticipated for a long time. In the present article the classification is achieved for shapes restricted to 2A, 3C and 4B and for the set of generating involutions in the target group forming a single conjugacy class. Timmesfeld’s classification of {3, 4}+-transposition groups reduces to consideration of just three groups: L3(2), G2(2)' and 3D4(2). Each of these groups possesses a unique Majorana representation of the required shape. Only the representation of L3(2), known before, is based on an embedding into the Monster.","PeriodicalId":7335,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Geometry","volume":"22 1","pages":"487 - 494"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2022-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44516580","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
