On mappings preserving a single Lorentz-Minkowski-distance in Hjelmslev's classical plane (Q1064538): Difference between revisions

(Translation of the original review). This paper deals with the study of classical Hjelmslev planes \({\mathbb{D}}^ 2\) where \({\mathbb{D}}\) is the Clifford ring \({\mathbb{R}}[\epsilon]/<\epsilon^ 2>.\) As known \(\overline{PQ}\) is the distance between two points \(P,Q\in {\mathbb{D}}^ 2\) invariant under translations and transformations \(\tau ': (x_ 1,x_ 2)\to (x_ 2,x_ 1)\) for \(x_ 1,x_ 2\in {\mathbb{D}}.\) The main result (Theorem 1) of the paper is: A mapping \(\sigma: {\mathbb{D}}^ 2\to {\mathbb{D}}^ 2\) such that \(\overline{PQ}=1\) implies \(\overline{P^{\sigma}Q^{\sigma}}=1\) for all \(P,Q\in {\mathbb{D}}^ 2\) is - up to translations and transformations \(\tau\) ' - of the form \((x_ 1,x_ 2)\to (ax_ 1^{\tau},(1/a)x_ 2^{\tau})\) for \(a\in {\mathbb{D}}\) and a unit element in \({\mathbb{D}}\), and \(\tau\) homomorphism of \({\mathbb{D}}\) with \(1^{\sigma}=1\).
