Abstract

In the first part of this paper, tests were described for determining which points of any line in a Galois plane II of order q2 are to be transferred to the conjugate line in order to transmute II into the corresponding Hughes plane Ω. In this part of the paper the tests are refined to provide, in relation to some fixed point in the central subplane δ0 of Ω (i) a simple geometrical condition of transfer for a certain set of ½q(q2−1) points of II and (ii) a simple aglebraic condition for the remaining points of II – δ0. These tests eliminate from the computation (for a given value of q) the necessity of calculating the third coordinates of ½q2 (q2−1) points in order to determine which are not-squares.
