The projective planes discovered in 1957 by Hughes [3] were originally described by means of a nearfield F satisfying the following conditions:(a) F is finite,(b) the centre and kernel of F coincide,(c) F is of rank 2 over its kernel.(The definitions of these terms will be given in § 2; the terminology used throughout the paper is that of [1].)Rosati [5] showed in 1960 that condition (a) is not necessary, thus constructing the first “infinite Hughes planes”. Condition (b), however, plays an essential part also in Rosati's work.The aim in this paper is to show that condition (b) is superfluous as well. For the finite case, this has been remarked by Ostrom [4] without proof; here we shall show that a “generalized Hughes plane” can be constructed over any nearfield satisfying condition (c) only.
