On affine groups admitting invariant two-point sets

A two-point set is a subset of the plane which meets every line in exactly two points. We discuss previous work on the topological symmetries of a two-point set, and show that there exist subgroups of S<sup>1</sup> which do not leave any two-point set invariant. Further, we show that two...

description A two-point set is a subset of the plane which meets every line in exactly two points. We discuss previous work on the topological symmetries of a two-point set, and show that there exist subgroups of S<sup>1</sup> which do not leave any two-point set invariant. Further, we show that two-point sets may be chosen to be topological groups, in which case they are also homogeneous.
