Abstract

In this paper we focus on the description of the automorphism group Γ\Gamma_{\parallel} of a Clifford-like parallelism \parallel on a 33-dimensional projective double space (P(HF),,r)\bigl(\mathbb{P}(H_F),{\mathrel{\parallel_{\ell}}},{\mathrel{\parallel_{r}}}\bigr) over a quaternion skew field HH (with centre a field FF of any characteristic). We compare Γ\Gamma_{\parallel} with the automorphism group Γ\Gamma_{\ell} of the left parallelism \mathrel{\parallel_{\ell}}, which is strictly related to Aut(H)\mathrm{Aut}(H). We build up and discuss several examples showing that over certain quaternion skew fields it is possible to choose \parallel in such a way that Γ\Gamma_{\parallel} is either properly contained in Γ\Gamma_{\ell} or coincides with Γ\Gamma_{\ell} even though {\parallel} \neq{\mathrel{\parallel_{\ell}}}.
