Résumé

Let be a projective plane and a subplane of . If l is a line of , we let denote the group of all elations in that have as axis and leave Q invariant. In [12, p. 921], Ostrom asked for a description of all finite planes that have a Baer subplane with the property that for all lines l of . Here denotes the order of G. Both the desarguesian planes of square order and the generalized Hughes planes have this property (Hughes [10], Ostrom [14], Dembowski [6]). One of the aims of this paper is to show that these are the only planes having such a Baer subplane.
