Abstract
Triple factorisations of finite groups of the form are essential in the study of Lie theory as well as in geometry. Geometrically, each triple factorisation corresponds to a -flag transitive point/line geometry such that `each pair of points is incident with at least one line'. We call such a geometry \emph{collinearly complete}, and duality (interchanging the roles of points and lines) gives rise to the notion of \emph{concurrently complete} geometries. In this paper, we study triple factorisations of the general linear group as where the subgroups and either fix a subspace or fix a decomposition of as with .
