Download or read book Projective and Cayley-Klein Geometries written by Arkadij L. Onishchik and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2006-11-22 with total page 445 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers an introduction into projective geometry. The first part presents n-dimensional projective geometry over an arbitrary skew field; the real, the complex, and the quaternionic geometries are the central topics, finite geometries playing only a minor part. The second deals with classical linear and projective groups and the associated geometries. The final section summarizes selected results and problems from the geometry of transformation groups.
