Abstract: By a transfer principle Pascal's Theorem is equivalent to a theorem about point pairs on the real line. It appears that Pascal's Theorem is equivalent to the vanishing of a common invariant of six quadratic forms. Using the q-deformed invariant theory of cite{L} we construct corresponding quantum invariants by a computer calculation.

Review text

Pascal's theorem can be stated as a relation between quadratic forms: more precisely, it is equivalent to the vanishing of a common invariant of six quadratic forms. In this paper the author uses the \(q\)-deformed invariant theory of his paper [J. Algebra 222, 82-128 (1999; Zbl 0981.17014)] and constructs the corresponding quantum invariants. Some computations needed in the proofs are carried out with the help of a computer.
