Substructure of projective planes
Given a projective plane, what smaller planes and other structures can be found in it.  My focus is the family of finite Figueroa Planes, as well as the Hughes Planes.  As a part of this effort I have created several programs which are available here

The bandwidth of projective plane graphs












Consider a graph with n vertices. If we label the vertices graph with number {1,...,n} , the bandwidth of labeling is the maximum difference in the labels of adjacent vertices.  The bandwidth of the graph is the minmum bandwidth over all possible labelings.  The projective plane graphs are the incidence graphs of projective planes viewed as a bipartite graph with a partite sets Lines and Points with a line connected to a point if the point lies on the line.  Attempts to determine or  bound the bandwidth are difficult due to the great variety of projective planes
