The classification of polarities in reducible projective spaces (Q1113450)

A reducible projective space \(P\) of finite dimension is the direct sum of irreducible projective spaces \(P^ 1,...,P^ m\) [see \textit{B. Segre}, Lectures on modern geometry (1961; Zbl 0095.148)]. The authors construct polarities of \(P\) by combining polarities of the partial spaces \(P^ i\) and correlations of isomorphic partial spaces \(P^ i\), \(P^{i+1}\) (if existing). Then they show there are no other polarities of \(P\).
