Abstract
In this paper we estimate thep-rank of the points-by-lines incidence matrix of a projective Hjelmslev plane over a chain ring with 4 or 9 elements. The proof uses a characterization of all divisible arcs in the corresponding projective planes. Furthermore, we prove lower and upper bounds on thep-rank of the incidence matrix of the projective Hjelmslev plane over an arbitrary finite chain ring of nilpotency index 2.
