Abstract

We consider the Andr\'e/Bruck-Bose representation of the projective plane PG(2,qn)\mathrm{PG}(2,q^n) in PG(2n,q)\mathrm{PG}(2n,q). We investigate the representation of Fqk\mathbb{F}_{q^k}-sublines and Fqk\mathbb{F}_{q^k}-subplanes of PG(2,qn)\mathrm{PG}(2,q^n), extending the results for n=3n=3 of \cite{BarJack2} and correcting the general result of \cite{BarJack1}. We characterise the representation of Fqk\mathbb{F}_{q^k}-sublines tangent to or contained in the line at infinity, Fq\mathbb{F}_q-sublines external to the line at infinity, Fq\mathbb{F}_q-subplanes tangent to and Fqk\mathbb{F}_{q^k}-subplanes secant to the line at infinity.
