Series of Inscribed n - Gons and Rank 3 Configurations
نویسنده
چکیده
In the paper we study configurations which can be represented as families of cyclically inscribed n-gons. The most regular of them arise from quasi difference sets distinguished in a product of two cyclic groups, but some other more general techniques which define series of inscribed n-gons are found and studied. We give conditions which assure the existence of certain automorphisms of the defined configurations. The automorphism groups of configurations arising from quasi difference sets is established.

VERY HOMOGENEOUS GENERALIZED n-GONS OF FINITE MORLEY RANK
(Almost strongly minimal) generalized n-gons are constructed for all n& 3 for which the automorphism group acts transitively on the set of ordered ordinary (n1)-gons contained in it, a new class of BN-pairs thus being obtained. Through the construction being modified slightly, 2! many non-isomorphic almost strongly minimal generalized n-gons are obtained for all n& 3, none of which interprets ...

We show that, for any 2n+ 2 distinct points a1, a′ 1, a2, a′ 2, . . . , an+1, a′ n+1 (in this order) on the unit circle, there is an n-by-n matrix A, unique up to unitary equivalence, which has norm one and satisfies the conditions that it has all its eigenvalues in the open unit disc, In − A∗A has rank one and its numerical range is circumscribed by the two (n+ 1)-gons a1a2 · · · an+1 and a′ 1...
متن کاملGoing in Circles: Variations on the Money-Coutts Theorem
Given a polygon A1, . . . , An, consider the chain of circles: S1 inscribed in the angle A1, S2 inscribed in the angle A2 and tangent to S1, S3 inscribed in the angle A3 and tangent to S2, etc. We describe a class of n-gons for which this process is 2n-periodic. We extend the result to the case when the sides of a polygon are arcs of circles. The case of triangles is known as the Money-Coutts t...
متن کاملClassification of skew translation generalized quadrangles, I
Generalized n-gons were introduced by Tits in a famous work on triality [20] of 1959, in order to propose an axiomatic and combinatorial treatment for semisimple algebraic groups (including Chevalley groups and groups of Lie type) of relative rank 2. They are the central rank 2 incidence geometries, and the atoms of the more general “Tits-buildings.” If the number of elements of a generalized n...
متن کاملConnectedness of Opposite-flag Geometries in Moufang Polygons
A generalized n-gon, n 2, is a rank 2 geometry whose incidence graph has diameter n and girth 2n, and each vertex has valency 3. If the latter condition is not satisfied , then we have a weak generalized n-gon. In this paper, we will always consider generalized n-gons with n 3 (generalized 2-gons are trivial geometries). They are the irreducible spherical buildings of rank 2. A generalized poly...
