Segre and the Foundations of Geometry: From Complex Projective Geometry to Dual Numbers

2016

In 1886 Corrado Segre wrote to Felix Klein about his intention to study ‘geometrie projective pure’, completing and developing the work of von Staudt. He would continue this research project throughout the whole of his scientific life. In 1889, following a suggestion of Segre, Mario Pieri published his translation of the Geometrie der Lage, and from 1889 to 1890 Segre published four important papers, “Un nuovo campo di ricerche geometriche”, in which he completely developed complex projective geometry, considering new mathematical objects such as antiprojectivities and studying the Hermitian forms from a geometrical point of view with the related ‘hyperalgebraic varieties’. Segre developed …

A class of unitals of order q which can be embedded in two different planes of order q2

1987

By deriving the desarguesian plane of order q2 for every prime power q a unital of order q is constructed which can be embedded in both the Hall plane and the dual of the Hall plane of order q2 which are non-isomorphic projective planes. The representation of translation planes in the fourdimensional projective space of J. Andre and F. Buekenhouts construction of unitals in these planes are used. It is shown that the full automorphism groups of these unitals are just the collineation groups inherited from the classical unitals.

Geometry/Time Measurement/Sundials Graphical Resolution via Algorithmic and Parametric Processes

2018

Every people, in every historical period, developed methods to measure Time both at a daily scale and at a yearly scale. Some of them constructed sundials to represent the apparent trajectory of the Sun around the Earth, by using and developing tools from descriptive and projective Geometry, mainly. This subject acquired a great multidisciplinary interest since ancient times, also for Science of Representation applications. This study presents the first results of an ongoing research concerning some aspects related to Time Measurement. The geometric-spatial setting of the Sun-Earth system is described and is structured parametrically via algorithms, following the known conventions shared an…

An optimal bound for embedding linear spaces into projective planes

1988

Abstract Linear spaces with υ >n 2 − 1 2 n + 1 points, b⩽n2 + n + 1 lines and not constant point degree are classified. It turns out that there is essentially one class of such linear spaces which are not near pencils and which can not be embedded into any projective plane of order n.

Spaces of typen on partially ordered sets

1989

This paper contains a generalized approach to incidence geometry on partially ordered sets. A difference to the usual geometrical concepts is that points may have different size. Our main result states that a large class of spaces allows lattice theoretic characterizations. Especially, a generalized version of the Veblen-Young axiom of projective geometry has a lattice theoretic equivalent, called then-generation property (which is a generalization of the ‘Verbindungssatz’). Modularity and distributivity of a lattice of subspaces are reflected in the underlying space. Finally we give specializations and examples.

Blocking sets and partial spreads in finite projective spaces

1980

A t-blocking set in the finite projective space PG(d, q) with d≥t+1 is a set $$\mathfrak{B}$$ of points such that any (d−t)-dimensional subspace is incident with a point of $$\mathfrak{B}$$ and no t-dimensional subspace is contained in $$\mathfrak{B}$$ . It is shown that | $$\mathfrak{B}$$ |≥q t +...+1+q t−1√q and the examples of minimal cardinality are characterized. Using this result it is possible to prove upper and lower bounds for the cardinality of partial t-spreads in PG(d, q). Finally, examples of blocking sets and maximal partial spreads are given.

Zur Hyperebenenalgebraisierung in desargues-Schen projektiven Verbandsgeometrien

1991

As a completion and extension of a result of A. Day and D. Pickering [5] we obtain the following structure theorem in the conceptual frame of projective lattice geometries: In a Desarguesian projective geometry the subgeometry of every at least one-dimensional hyperplane is module induced.

Semimodular Locally Projective Lattices of Rank 4 from v.Staudt’s Point of View

1981

We consider groups of projectivities in a certain kind of lattices called “Spaces”,also comprising the circle planes, and give theorems of v.Staudtian type, which characterize those Spaces which can be represented by a sublattice of a projective geometry of rank 4.

Der Satz von Tits für PGL2(R), R ein kommutativer Ring vom stabilen Rang 2

1996

Certain permutation groups on sets with distance relation are characterized as groups of projectivities PGL2(R) on the projective line over a commutative ring R of stable rank 2, thus generalizing a classical result of Tits where R is a field.
