Concurrence geometries

From MaRDI portal





The paper deals with the problem to describe combinatorially the variety of configurations c of hyperplanes which can be constructed, given that the section of the configuration c on a fixed hyperplane H be a given geometric figure. This is related to a correspondence between plane projections of polyhedra in 3-space and static stresses in the projection, as done by J. C. Maxwell and L. Cremona. If there is a finite collection of labelled lines in the plane it is equivalent to another such collection if corresponding sets of lines are concurrent. These equivalence classes, called drawings, inherit a natural lattice structure, and some examples of this lattice are worked out in detail. Then various equivalences among similar sorts of geometries are investigated.
