Abstract
Let be the projective Klingenberg plane coordinated by the dual quaternion ring where Q is any quaternion ring. In this paper, we determine the addition and multiplication of the points on the line of as the image of some collineations of the plane . To do this, we give the collineations and . Later we show that the addition and multiplication of the nonneighbor points on the line can be obtained as the images under that and .

1 Introduction and preliminaries
In the plane geometry, there are three important classes: affine planes, projective planes and hyperbolic planes. In recent years, studies on the generalization of these classes are becoming more popular. In this paper, we study on the projective Klingenberg planes, which are generalizations of the projective planes. Now we give some required concepts from [1–4] for understanding projective Klingenberg planes. A ring is defined as a set R together with two binary operations + and ⋅, which we call addition and multiplication, such that the following axioms are satisfied:
R1: is an Abelian group;
R2: Multiplication is associative;
R3: Distributive laws holds.
A ring R with identity element is called local if the set I of its non-units forms an ideal.
A Projective Plane is a system in which the elements of are called points and the elements of ℒ are called lines together with an incidence relation ∈ between the points and lines such that
P1: If P and Q are distinct points, then there is a unique line passing through P and Q (denoted by or PQ);
P2: If l and m are any lines, then there exist at least one point on both l and m;
P3: There exists four points such that no three of them are collinear.
In any projective plane, it is well known that there is a unique point on any distinct line pair and if l and m are distinct lines, the intersection point of these lines is denoted by or lm.
A Projective Klingenberg plane (PK-Plane) is a system where is an incidence structure and ∼ is an equivalence relation on (called neighboring) such that no point is neighbor to any line and the following axioms are satisfied:
PK1: If P and Q are non-neighbor points, then there is a unique line passing through P and Q;
PK2: If l and m are non-neighbor lines, then there is a unique point on both l and m;
PK3: There is a projective plane and an incidence structure epimorphism such that and .
A point is called near a line (which is denoted by ) iff there exists a line such that .
An incidence structure automorphism preserving and reflecting the neighbor relation is called a collineation of Π.
Let Π be a PK-plane with canonical image . Choose a basis whose image in form a quadrangle. Let , , , and . Let , . Then the points and the lines of Π get their coordinates as follows:
If , let where , ;
If , let where and ;
If , let where , and (clearly );
If , then where , ;
If , , then where , ;
If , then where , (then ).
Then , , , , , , , and a point has coordinates . We note that if and only if , for , dually for lines.
Let R be a local ring and the set of the non-units is denoted by I. Now we recall a theorem and corollary which are constructed in [2] for Moufang-Klingenberg planes.
Theorem 1.1 The system is a PK-plane where
Corollary 1.2 If , then is a unit and, therefore,
The PK-Plane given in Theorem 1.1 is denoted by and is called the PK-Plane coordinatized with (the local ring) R.
Finally we give the definition of dual quaternions, some theorems and a corollary from [5], which we use in the next section.
We consider any quaternion ring over a field F (which is a division ring) and the set together with the following operations:
where ε represents any element not in Q.
The elements of are called as dual quaternions. Obviously, the unity of is 1.
Theorem 1.3 The non-unit elements of are in the form bε, for and if , , then is a unit and .
Theorem 1.4 The set of non-units is an ideal of .

2 Two collineations of
In this section, we will define two transformations for the points and lines of and also we will show that these transformations are collineations. Similar transformations can be found in [6].
Let be an arbitrary element of . Then we define a transformation as:
Similarly, we define a transformation where and as:
Now, we can give the following theorem.
Theorem 2.1 The transformations and defined above are collineations of .
Proof It must be shown that and are bijective and preserves the incidence and the neighbor relations.
It can be shown that and are one.to.one transformations. Also since;
and
we find that and are surjective and also since,
and
we have that and preserves the incidence relation. Finally, since
and
we conclude that and preserves the neighbor relation. □

If X is any non-neighbor point to U on the line OU then there exist a such that . In this case
If X is any point on the line OU neighbor to U, then there exist a such that . In this case,
Therefore, and for any point X on where . □
