There exists a projective plane of order n for some positive integer n. It is gained by adding a point at infinity to each line in the usual euklidean plane, the same point for each pair of opposite directions, so any number of parallel lines have exactly one point in common, which cancels the concept of parallelism. Severi asked if there was a complex surface homeomorphic to the projective plane but not biholomorphic to it. More generally, if a line and all its points are removed from a. For twodimensional projective planes, he proved in 20 that such a plane p is isomorphic to the real projective plane which, of course, is analytic if p can be.
As before, points in p2 can be described in homogeneous coordinates, but now. Draw a projective plane which has four points on every line. It is called playfairs axiom, although it was stated explicitly by proclus. One geometric way to describe a projective plane is to start with a 3dimensional euclidean space, and then to project through the origin. One of the main differences between a pg2, and ag2, is that any two lines on the affine plane may or may not intersect.
A3 there exist four points, no three of which are collinear. If you are going to read this book on your own, some experience with modern math and history of geometry is a good prerequisite. Topology on real projective plane mathematics stack exchange. But, more generally, the notion projective plane refers to any topological space homeomorphic to it can be proved that a surface is a projective plane iff it is a onesided with one face connected compact surface of genus 1 can be cut without being split into two pieces.
