One configurational characterization of Ostrom nets

Jaromír Baštinec (1991)

Mathematica Bohemica

Bz the quadrileteral condition in a given net there is meant the following implication: If A 1 , A 2 , A 3 , A - 4 are arbitrary points, no three of them lie on the same line, with coll ( A i A j ) (collinearity) for any five from six couples { i , j } then there follows the collinearity coll ( A k A l ) for the remaining couple { k , l } . In the article there is proved the every net satisfying the preceding configuration condition is necessarity the Ostrom net (i.e., the net over a field). Conversely, every Ostrom net satisfies the above configuration...

Opérations sur les cartes et métamorphoses de la catégorie des G-ensembles.

Christian Léger (1991)

Revista Matemática de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid

We call metamorphosis of a given category an autoequivalence functor up to within natural equivalence. We show that, given a group G, the group of metamorphoses of the category of G-sets (as well as the corresponding group for ?sufficiently big? subcategories) may be naturally identified to the group of outer automorphism of G. We get by this way a natural description of a group of known operations on tessellations of a surface: the identity operation, the Poincaré duality, and four others which...

Pentagramma mirificum and elliptic functions (Napier, Gauss, Poncelet, Jacobi, ...)

Vadim Schechtman (2013)

Annales de la faculté des sciences de Toulouse Mathématiques

We give an exposition of unpublished fragments of Gauss where he discovered (using a work of Jacobi) a remarkable connection between Napier pentagons on the sphere and Poncelet pentagons on the plane. As a corollary we find a parametrization in elliptic functions of the classical dilogarithm five-term relation.
