There are 2834 spreads of lines in PG(3,8)

Abstract

2834 inequivalent spreads under the group $\mathrm{P}\Gamma\mathrm{L}(4,8)$. Therefore there are the same number of translation planes of order 64 with kernel containing $\mathrm{GF}(8)$, and we describe various properties of these planes. Each portion of the search was performed at least twice with independently-written software, and the results checked for internal consistency by computation of the numbers of spreads rooted at a line not in the spread, thus enhancing confidence in the correctness of the search.
