    Study Notes

    Projective Geometry

    • Projective geometry is a generalization of Pascal's theorem and applies to both circles and ellipses.
    • The cross-ratio theorem states that in a projection of one line onto another from a central point, the double ratio of lengths on the first line is equal to the corresponding ratio on the other line.

    Properties of Projective Geometry

    • If four points A, B, C, and D lie on a straight line in that order, then their cross ratio is invariant under projection.
    • Harmonic conjugate theorem: given three collinear points A, B, C, let L be a point not lying on their join and let any line through C meet LA, LB at M, N respectively. If AN and BM meet at K, and LK meets AB at D, then D is called the harmonic conjugate of C with respect to A and B.

    Comparison with Other Geometries

    • Euclidean Geometry: flat, two-dimensional space where the parallel postulate holds true; parallel lines never intersect.
    • Spherical Geometry: there are no parallel lines; all lines intersect.
    • Hyperbolic Geometry: space where the curvature is negative; existence of multiple parallel lines through a point.
    • Fractal Geometry: geometric shapes with self-similarity at different scales; parallel lines conceptually exist but may behave differently due to the self-similar nature of fractals.

    Axioms of Geometries

    • Projective Geometry: based on the principle of projective invariance.
    • Euclidean Geometry: founded on classical axioms, including the parallel postulate.
    • Spherical Geometry: derived from the properties of a sphere.
    • Hyperbolic Geometry: based on non-Euclidean postulates, such as the existence of multiple parallel lines through a point.
    • Fractal Geometry: axioms may vary depending on the specific application but often involve self-similarity.

    Real-World Applications

    • Computer graphics: projective geometry is used to create 3D images by projecting them onto a 2D screen.
    • Projective geometry is used in real-world applications and scenarios.
