Modal logics for incidence geometries

open access: yesJournal of Logic and Computation, 1997
Let \(S=(P,L,\text{in})\) be an incidence plane by the well-known axioms: \(P,L\neq\emptyset\); \(\text{in}\subseteq P\times L\); \(P\cap L=\emptyset\); two points are together incident with one and only one line; each line contains at least two different points; each point belongs at least to two different lines.

On the foundations of incidence geometry

Geometriae Dedicata, 1988
Diagram geometries and chamber systems of various types have been used and investigated intensively in recent years - not only in finite group theory, but in other areas as well. This development has led to a need for some clarification of the variations and generalizations introduced by the many authors, and for a discussion of the different axiomatic

On finite models of Hilbert's incidence geometry

Discrete Mathematics
In this paper, the authors give a lower bound on the number of such models with \({n}\) points using finite models of the first group of Hilbert's axioms of Euclidean geometry (denote with \(A\)). By \(\mathrm{HilbInc}(n)\), the authors denote the number of nonisomorphic models of \(A\) with the point set \({1, 2,\dots,n}\) and calculate the exact ...

Ordered Incidence geometry and the geometric foundations of convexity theory [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Geometry, 1987
An Ordered Incidence Geometry, that is a geometry with certain axioms of incidence and order, is proposed as a minimal setting for the fundamental convexity theorems, which usually appear in the context of a linear vector space, but require only ...

An Introduction to Incidence Geometry

open access: yes, 2016
This book gives an introduction to the field of Incidence Geometry by discussing the basic families of point-line geometries and introducing some of the mathematical techniques that are essential for their study.

On the Incidence Geometry of Grassmann Spaces

Geometriae Dedicata, 1999
The main result is a characterization of the Grassmann space \({\mathbf G}\) of a projective space \(\mathcal P\). By definition, the point set \(P\) of \({\mathbf G}\) is the set of lines of \(\mathcal P\), the line set \(\mathcal L\) of \({\mathbf G}\) consists of all plane line pencils in \(\mathcal P\).

FORMALIZATION OF HILBERT'S GEOMETRY OF INCIDENCE AND PARALLELISM

Synthese, 1997
The author first describes how \textit{D. Hilbert} changed the phrasing of his axioms of incidence in the various early editions of his Grundlagen der Geometrie [(Teubner, Leipzig) (1899; JFM 30.0424.01); second edition (1903; JFM 34.0523.01); seventh edition (1930; JFM 56.0481.01)], in which ``bestimmen'' gave way to ``es gibt''.

Incidence and Metric Geometry

1981
In this section we shall define the notions of an abstract geometry and an incidence geometry. These are given by listing a set of axioms that must be satisfied. After the definitions are made, we will give a number of examples which will serve as models for these geometries.

Geometric Hyperplanes of Lie Incidence Geometries

Geometriae Dedicata, 1997
Let \(\Gamma=({\mathcal P},{\mathcal L})\) be a geometry of points and lines. A subspace of \(\Gamma\) is a set of points which contains every line that meets it in at least two points. An embedding \(\mu\) of \(\Gamma\) in a finite-dimensional vector space \(V\) consists of a map \(\mu_1\) of \({\mathcal P}\) into the set of 1-subspaces of \(V\) and a
