Abstract

We introduce the notion of moving absolute geometry of a geometry with triality and show that, in the classical case where the triality is of type (Iσ)(I_\sigma) and the absolute geometry is a generalized hexagon, the moving absolute geometry also gives interesting flag-transitive geometries with Buekenhout diagram with parameters (dp,g,dL)=(5,3,6)(d_p, g, d_L) = (5, 3, 6) for the groups G2(k)G_2(k) and 3D4(k)^3D_4(k), for any integer k2k \geq 2. We also classify the classical absolute geometries for geometries with trialities but no dualities coming from maps of Class III with automorphism group L2(q3)L_2(q^3), where qq is a power of a prime. We then investigate the moving absolute geometries for these geometries, illustrating their interest in this case.
