Abstract

We describe the structure of the collineation groups of Figueroa planes, giving examples and explanations that show why the description in Dempwolff [3] is not completely accurate. We also give criteria for when Figueroa planes are isomorphic, and show that certain subplanes are Figueroa or Pappian planes.
