Abstract

AbstractSemi-classical geometries have been investigated in the context of 2-dimensional affine planes, projective planes, Möbius planes and Laguerre planes. Here we deal with the case of 2-dimensional Minkowski planes. Semi-classical 2-dimensional Minkowski planes are obtained by pasting together two halves of the classical real Minkowski plane along two circles or parallel classes. By solving some functional equations for the functions that describe the pasting we determine all semi-classical 2-dimensional Minkowski planes. In contrast to the rich variety of other semi-classical planes there are only very few models of such Minkowski planes.
