Abstract
a set ofk points such that every line in the plane intersects it in at most two points
and there is a line intersects it in exactly two points. The k-arc is complete ifthere is no k+l -arc containing it.
The main purpose of this paper is to study and find the projectively distinct k- arcs, k=4,5,6,7 in PG(2,37)
A k-arc in the plane PG(2,q) is
though the classification and construction of the projectively distinct k-arcs and finding the group of
of each projectively distinct k-arc and describing it. Also it was found that PG(2,37) has no

Introduction
A k-arc in projective plane PG (2,q) is a set of k
A Projectively S : q, -+ o is a bijection given by a
non-singular matrix T such that ifP (x'): P(x) S ,
then tx= xT where x'and x are coordinate vectors for
P(x')and P (x),and t e Ko.
points such that every llne in the plane intersects it in
at most two points and there is a line intersects it in
exactly two points. The k-ara is complete if there is
no k+1-arc containing it.
The purpose of this thesis is to classify and construct
the projectivety distinct k-arcs in PG(2,37) over the
Galois field GF(37). Also it was shown that PG(2,37)
has no maximum k-arc. Hirschfeld [7] and Sadeh
[0] showed the classification and construction ofkarcs over the Galois field GF(q), with qsl1. Younis
[2]first studied classification of k-arcs in the
projectivety plane PG (2,16). The classification ofthe
complete k-arcs in PG (2,q) ,for q:23,25,27 has been
given by Coolsaet and Sticker [5.].161 .
Chao ,Kaneta [4] classification ofthe complete k-arcs
in PG(2,q) ,for 23:qS29.
AL-Taee [1] classified the projective distinct k-arcs
for k=5,6 in the projective plane PG(2,32).
(l-2-2) Fundamental theorem of
geometary l7l
If {pr,pr,...,p.+r},{ pr*,p:*,...,p*:*}are two sets
ofpoints of PG(n,q) such that no n+l points chosen
(1)
from the same set lie in a prime( a prime in PG(2,q)
is a line) , then there exists a unique projectivity T
such that pi*: piT ,for all i in N.1r={ 1,2,...,n+2}.
(2) Let S = PG(n,q), and f,: S JS be a collineation,
then I:oT, where o is an automorphism and T is a
projectivity. This means that if K= CF (ph),and
P(Y)=P(X),; then there exists m in Nh, qj in GF(phXor
(ii)in Nh*x Nh* and t in GF (ph)\{6} such that
tY=X' T, where r: p- and X'=(xo',xr', . . ,x") and
T=(Q;ijin N6*,whereNl*={0,1,2,...,h}and Nr,:{ 1,2
,...,h).
(l-2-3) Cyclic projectivities [7]
A projectivity T which permutes the points of PG
(n,q) which is denoted byO (n) in a single cycle is
called a cyclic projectivity , where O (n)=(q'+t.
Also this paper represents an extra step in this side ,
which include first study for construction and
classification k-arcs in the projective plane PG (2,37).
The subject matter in this paper needs long time for
running computer programs which are used to find
projectively distinct k-arcs in the projectiye plane
of order 37 and finding groups for these k-arcs for
values k=5,6.

(4-l)Delinitions
in
PG(2,37) has (292786) arcs and it is big number
which is found by computer program ,we cannot
classify it because there are many .rcs and it takes
more than (150) hours on computer and it is not yet
stopping .therefore we used more than 6 computers to
run it and get results of complete arcs but the
computers continue working in the same method , for
this reasons we stop working on this step.

In previos sections we constructed all the projectively
distinct k-aras for F4,5,6,7,and we see that,k-arcs
with 4SkJ are incomplete. these results are obtained
by computer research. We shall now prove that in
theorem(4-5-l) that complete (k,3)-arcs do not exist

So the maximum value of R3 can accrue is m.
Assume that r;= (k-l-2i)l , i=O,t,...,m . It is clear
that m is positive for l€3 .The possible types of(k,3)arc;31X37 are given in the following in the table

K is complete
complete (3,3)-arc does not exist in PG(2,37).
For k:37, we obtain from equations (l) and (2) 13 <
222 $d t3 > 22E which is impossibte , so a complete
(37.3Farc does not exist in PG(2,37).
Finally ,if for 3<n<37the (n,3!arcs is complete ,then
we have from equation (l)
r3<n(n-l/6<(37'36y6 422 , also from equation
(2)we have r3>( 1407-ny6>
K is a complete (k .n)-arc ,then:
