Projective Representations II. Generalized chain geometries

Abstract: In this paper, projective representations of generalized chain geometries are investigated, using the concepts and results of part I. In particular, we study under which conditions such a projective representation maps the chains of a generalized chain geometry $\Sigma(F,R)$ to reguli; this mainly depends on how the field $F$ is embedded in the ring $R$. Moreover, we determine all bijective morphisms of a certain class of generalized chain geometries with the help of projective representations.
