Oriented straight lines and twistor correspondence
The tangent bundle to the n–dimensional sphere is the space of oriented lines in Rn+1. We characterise the smooth sections of TS → S which correspond to points in Rn+1 as gradients of eigenfunctions of the Laplacian on S with eigenvalue n. The special case of n = 6 and its connection with almost complex geometry is discussed. 1 Oriented lines in R Oriented geodesics in Rn+1 are straight lines. ...
متن کاملTwistor Lines on Nagata Threefold
We present an explicit description of twistor lines in M. Nagata’s example of nonprojective complete algebraic variety and give a direct proof of the fact that Nagata’s example is a compactification of the twistor space of a hyperKähler metric on the cotangent bundle of P . We particularly observe that there exists a pair of 4-dimensional families of real lines and that precisely one of these f...
متن کاملDrawing Straight Lines
lines, pseudolines, polar coordinates, trilinear coordinates, non-linear programming, geometry We present a graph-drawing algorithm which respects extended co-linearity constraints. These are expressed as a set of ‘straight’ paths in a planar graph. Constraints of this sort are translated into a set of inequalities over polar coordinates of lines. These inequalities provide necessary and suffic...
متن کاملEuclid’s straight lines
We raise two questions on Euclid’s Elements: How to explain that Propositions 16 and 27 in his first book do not follow, strictly speaking, from his postulates (or are perhaps meaningless)? and: What are the mathematical consequences of the meanings of the term eutheia which we today often prefer to consider as different? The answer to the first question is that orientability is a tacit assumpt...
متن کاملHaptically straight lines.
In this research, we set out to investigate haptically perceived space. Large deviations with respect to physical space have already been shown to exist. Here, research on haptic space is continued by investigating straight lines constructed by touch. In four experiments, subjects were asked to produce straight lines between two reference markers that were in the horizontal plane at a fixed dis...
