Study Notes
Double Elliptic Geometry
- A line separates the plane.
- Any two points have at least one line passing through them.
- Each pair of lines intersects at exactly two points.
- The distance between any two points is less than or equal to $7\pi k$, where $k$ is a positive constant.
- Points at the maximum distance are called opposite points.
- All lines have the same length, $2\pi k$.
- Each point has a unique opposite point.
- Two points determine a unique line if and only if the points are not opposite.
- All lines passing through a given point also pass through the point opposite the given point.
- All lines perpendicular to a given line intersect at the same pair of opposite points.
- The distance from each of these points to any point on the given line is $\pi k/2$.
- Points that divide a line into equal segments are called opposite points.
- These opposite points are called poles of the given line, and this line is called the polar of the two points.
- All lines passing through a point are perpendicular to the polar of that point.
- A unique perpendicular line can be drawn from a point to a line if and only if the point is not the pole of the line.
- The summit angles of a Saccheri quadrilateral are congruent and obtuse.
- The angle sum of every triangle exceeds $180^\circ$.
- The area of a triangle $\triangle ABC$ is given by:
- $area(\triangle ABC) = k^2(\angle ABC + \angle BCA + \angle CAB - 180^\circ)$
Finite Geometry
- Finite geometries have few axioms and theorems, and a definite number of elements.
- The first finite geometry to be considered was a three-dimensional geometry.
- All the finite geometries discussed in this chapter have point and line as undefined terms.
- However, a line in finite geometry cannot contain an infinite number of points.
Projective Geometry
- Projective geometry studies the relationships between geometric figures and their projections onto other surfaces.
Three-Point Finite Geometry
- Three-point geometry has four axioms:
- The geometry has exactly three distinct points.
- Each line in the geometry has exactly three points.
- Not all points of the geometry are on the same line.
- For each pair of distinct points, there exists a unique line that contains both points.
Finite Geometries of Fano and Young
- Fano’s geometry has seven points and seven lines.
- It is a plane finite geometry derived from a three-dimensional geometry.
- Fano’s geometry axioms:
- There exists at least one line.
- Every line of the geometry has exactly three points on it.
- Not all points of the geometry are on the same line.
- For two distinct points, there exists exactly one line on both of them.
- Each two lines have at least one point in common.
- Theorem: Each two lines have exactly one point in common.
- Theorem: Fano’s geometry consists of exactly seven points and seven lines.
- Young’s geometry has the same first four axioms as Fano's, but its fifth axiom is:
- If a point does not lie on a given line, then there exists exactly one line containing that point that does not intersect the given line.
- Theorem: For every point, there is a line not on that point.
- Theorem: For every point, there are exactly four lines on that point.
- Theorem: There are three lines, no two of which intersect.
- Theorem: Each line is parallel to exactly two lines.
- Theorem: There are exactly 12 lines.
- Theorem: There are exactly nine points.

- If $P$ is a point not on a line, there exists exactly one point $P'$ on the line such that no line joins $P$ and $P'$.
- Two distinct points are on exactly one line.
- Not all the points of the geometry are on the same line.
