Why in the affine space can not we use Grassmann formula?

For example, in space three-dimensional affine space generated by two skew lines is all the space three-dimensional, since they are not coplanar. For this reason it is not worth the Grassmann ...

Existence of a special set of q+2 points in the finite affine plane over $\mathbb F_q$

I am working in the finite affine plane over $\mathbb F_q$ with $q=2^n$. Such a plane has $q^2$ points, $q^2+q$ lines, each line has $q$ points, and by a point is passing $q+1$ lines. There are $q+1$ ...

fixed point projective geometry

I am thinking about the following: Let $\sigma:\mathbb C P^n\rightarrow\mathbb C P^n$ be a projectivity with $\sigma\circ\sigma=id_{\mathbb C P^n}$. I define the set of all fix points by ...

Cross-ratio relations

The way I define the cross-ratio in projectve geometry: Let $P_0,P_1,P_2,P_3$ being four points on a projective line G, such that $P_0,P_1,P_2$ are pairwise distinct. Let $\pi:\mathbb KP^1\rightarrow ...

Cross-ratio projective geometry

I have 4 points $P_0=[1:2], P_1=[3:4], P_2=[5:6], P_3=[7,8]$ in $\mathbb KP^1$ and would like to evaluate the cross-ratio. It is given by the following: $\pi:\mathbb KP^1\rightarrow G$ is the unique ...

Motion in affine geometry

$V$ is a finite euclidean vectorspace and $\sigma:V->V$ is a motion, this means that $d(\sigma(a_i),\sigma(a_j))=d(a_i,a_j)$ for an affine coordinate system $a_0,...,a_n$ I know the following two ...

Turning affine planes into projective planes

How can we show that an affine plane of order $n$ can always be turned into a projective plane of order $n$? Say I start with an affine plane, and split it into $n+1$ parallel classes, add a point ...
