Abstract

The existence of a cyclic affine plane implies the existence of a Paley type difference set. We use the existence of this difference set to give the following condition on the existence of cyclic affine planes of order n: If n ≡ 8 mod 16 then n − 1 must be a prime. We discuss the structure of the Paley type difference set constructed from the plane.
