On the algebraic representation of projectively embeddable affine geometries
1995
The main result of this article is an application of [1] and [2] which yields that an at least 2-dimensional affine geometry is module-induced if and only if it is projectively embeddable into an Arguesian projective lattice geometry.
The coordinatization of affine planes by rings
1996
With every unitary free module of rank 2 there is naturally associated a generalized affine plane (e.g. the lines are just the cosets of all nonzero 1-generated submodules). Here we solve the converse problem by coordinatizing a given generalized affine plane which satisfies certain versions of Desargues' postulate.
On invariant measures of finite affine type tilings
2006
In this paper, we consider tilings of the hyperbolic 2-space, built with a finite number of polygonal tiles, up to affine transformation. To such a tiling T, we associate a space of tilings: the continuous hull Omega(T) on which the affine group acts. This space Omega(T) inherits a solenoid structure whose leaves correspond to the orbits of the affine group. First we prove the finite harmonic measures of this laminated space correspond to finite invariant measures for the affine group action. Then we give a complete combinatorial description of these finite invariant measures. Finally we give examples with an arbitrary number of ergodic invariant probability measures.
An axiomatic treatment of ratios in an affine plane
1967
Affine Kettengeometrien �ber Jordanalgebren
1996
It is shown that an affine chain geometry over a Jordan algebra can be constructed in a nearly classical manner. Conversely, such chain geometries are characterized as systems of rational normal curves having a group of automorphisms with certain properties.
Symplectic Applicability of Lagrangian Surfaces
2009
We develop an approach to affine symplectic invariant geometry of Lagrangian surfaces by the method of moving frames. The fundamental invariants of elliptic Lagrangian immersions in affine symplectic four-space are derived together with their integrability equa- tions. The invariant setup is applied to discuss the question of symplectic applicability for elliptic Lagrangian immersions. Explicit examples are considered.
