Title
Combinatorial geometries representable over GF(3) and GF(q). II. Dowling geometries.
Abstract
Abstract Letq be an odd prime power not divisible by 3. In Part I of this series, it was shown that the number of points in a rank-n combinatorial geometry (or simple matroid) representable over GF(3) and GF(q) is at mostn 2. In this paper, we show that, with the exception ofn = 3, a rank-n geometry that is representable over GF(3) and GF(q) and contains exactlyn 2 points is isomorphic to the rank-n Dowling geometry based on the multiplicative group of GF(3).
