Abstract: The present
article continues the classification of
correlations of finite Desarguesian planes.
In [Linear
Algebra Appl. 304 (2000), 1-31] we have
presented the correlations with identity
companion automorphism which are not polarities,
of these planes. Then, in [J. Geom. 77 (2003),
61-101], [B. C. Kestenband, The correlations of
finite Desarguesian planes, Part II: The
classification (I), J. Geom. (to appear)], [B.
C. Kestenband, The correlations of finite
Desarguesian planes, Part III: The
classification (II), J. Geom. (to appear)], [B.
C. Kestenband, The correlations of finite
Desarguesian planes, Part IV: The classification
(III), J. Geom. (to appear)], we classified the
correlations of planes of order with companion automorphism an odd prime, t¹
0.
In this paper we discuss the
situation in which p
= 2. This represents a complete classification of the
correlations of planes of even nonsquare order (i
= 0). Some of the correlations of planes of even
square order (i¹
0) are also covered by the present analysis.
Keywords and phrases: correlation, absolute point (AP),
absolute set, companion automorphism, qm-equivalence,
character of an absolute point, proper absolute
point, arc of proper character.
