Survey of Non-Desarguesian Planes

Charles Weibel

Desargues' Theorem in classical projective geometry asserts that two triangles are perspective from a point if and only if they are perspective from a line. Projective planes, axiomatically, are sets of points with designated subsets called lines, such that certain incidence relations obtain. They are non-Desarguesian if Desargues' Theorem does not hold. The author reviews the rich geometric, combinatoric, and algebraic theory of these planes.
