ISBN: 3540602089 ISBN-13: 9783540602088 Publisher: Springer OUR PRICE: $37.95 Product Type: Paperback Published: September 1995 Annotation: The book discusses various construction principles for translation planes and spreads from a general and unifying point of view and relates them to the theory of kinematic spaces. The book is intended for people working in the field of incidence geometry and can be read by everyone who knows the basic facts about projective and affine planes. The methods developed work especially well for topological spreads of real and complex vector spaces. In particular, a complete classification of all semifield spreads of finite dimensional complex vector spaces is obtained. |
