Study Notes

Extending Affine Maps to Linear Maps

Affine maps can be extended to linear maps, allowing for broader applications in geometry.

Basics of Projective Geometry

Projective geometry explores the properties of figures that are invariant under projective transformation.
Key terms include projective spaces, subspaces, frames, and maps.

Projective Frames

Projective frames serve as reference systems for defining points and transformations in projective space.

Finding a Homography

Finding a homography between two projective frames is essential for establishing relationships in projective geometry.

Affine Patches and Spaces

Affine patches represent regions in affine space, connecting concepts of projective completion.

Cross-Ratio

The cross-ratio is a critical invariant in projective geometry, useful for calculations involving four collinear points.

Fixed Points and Duality

Fixed points of homographies and homologies are significant in the analysis of transformations.
The concept of duality provides insights into the relationships between points and lines in projective space.

Complexification of Real Projective Space

Complexification extends real projective spaces into the realm of complex numbers, enhancing dimensionality and application.

Algebra: PID’s, UFD’s, Noetherian Rings

Principal Ideal Domains (PID) and Unique Factorization Domains (UFD) are foundational aspects of algebra.
Noetherian rings allow for an understanding of module theory and algebraic structures.

Linear Optimization

Linear programming is a systematic method for optimizing a linear objective function.
Key components include feasible solutions, optimal solutions, and the simplex algorithm.

Convex Sets and H-Polyhedra

Understanding convex sets, cones, and H-polyhedra is fundamental in geometry and optimization.
Hyperplanes and half-spaces define the boundaries and feasibility regions in linear programs.

Simplex Algorithm

The simplex algorithm effectively navigates the vertices of feasible solutions to find optimal outcomes.
Efficiency in pivoting operations is crucial for computational performance in linear programming.

Group Theory

A group is defined with an associative operation, an identity element, and inverses for each element.
Groups can be finite or infinite, denoted by their order.

Homomorphisms and Isomorphisms

Homomorphisms preserve group structure, while kernels and images are key to understanding group behavior.
An isomorphism indicates structural equivalence between groups, allowing a robust interchange of representations.

Inverse Elements and Translations

Inverse elements are crucial for verifying group properties and maintaining structure during operations.
Translations defined by left and right operations exhibit bijection, emphasizing symmetry in group structures.
