Abstract
A projective plane is a point-line incidence structure with the following properties: any two points lie on a unique line; any two lines intersect at a unique point; there exist at least four distinct points of which no three are collinear. In this talk, three representations of finite projective planes in high dimensional projective spaces will be introduced. They are the Bruck-Bose representation, the Bose representation, and the cone representation.
