Title: Partial linear spaces with a primitive affine automorphism group of rank 3

Abstract: A partial linear space consists of a finite non-empty set P of points and a collection L of subsets of P called lines such that each pair of points lies on at most one line, and each line contains at least two points. A partial linear space is proper if it is not a linear space or a graph. In this talk, we will consider some recent progress on classifying the proper partial linear spaces with a primitive affine automorphism group of rank 3.
