Abstract

There are a number of important substructures associated with sets of points of antiregular quadrangles. Inspired by a construction of P. Wild, we associate with any four distinct collinear points p, q, r and s of an antiregular quadrangle an incidence structure which is the union of the two biaffine planes associated with {p, r} and {q, s}. We investigate when this incidence structure is a semi-biplane.
