Abstract
For every infinite graph we construct a non-Desarguesian projective plane of the same size as such that and iff . Furthermore, restricted to structures with domain , the map is Borel. On one side, this shows that the class of countable non-Desarguesian projective planes is Borel complete, and thus not admitting a Ulm type system of invariants. On the other side, we rediscover the main result of [15] on the realizability of every group as the group of collineations of some projective plane. Finally, we use classical results of projective geometry to prove that the class of countable Pappian projective planes is Borel complete.
