Modern projective geometry
Over the last years the authors have developed a new approach to projective geometry, which lead to a vast extension of the fundamental theorem of projective geometry covering all morphisms between projective spaces which are induced by semilinear maps. In the book under review, the authors present an account of projective geometry based on this new approach. The fourteen chapters of the book are entitled as follows: 1. Fundamental notions of lattice theory, 2. Projective geometries and projective lattices, 3. Closure spaces and matroids, 4. Dimension theory, 5. Geometries of degree \(n\), 6. Morphisms of projective geometries, 7. Embeddings and quotient-maps, 8. Endomorphisms and the Desargues property, 9. Homogeneous coordinates, 10. Morphisms and semilinear maps, 11. Duality, 12. Related categories, 13. Lattices of closed subspaces, 14. Orthogonality. The table of contents shows that the authors study projective geometries and their morphisms from several points of view and that they also treat many related topics. The only prerequisites one needs for reading the book is some knowledge of linear algebra and of partially ordered sets. Thus the book is recommended as an introductory text, but also the expert can learn quite a lot from it.
