Given a (2N-1)-dimensional projective space over GF(2), PG (2N-1, 2), and its geometric spread of lines, there exists a remarkable mapping of this space onto PG (N-1, 4) where the lines of the spread correspond to the points and subspaces spanned by pairs of lines to the lines of PG (N-1, 4). Under such mapping, a nondegenerate quadric surface of the former space has for its image a nonsingular Hermitian variety in the latter space, this quadric being hyperbolic or elliptic in dependence on N being even or odd, respectively. We employ this property to show that generalized Pauli groups of N-qubits also form two distinct families according to the parity of N and to put the role of symmetric Pauli operators into a new perspective. The N = 4 case is taken to illustrate the issue, due to its link with the so-called black-hole/qubit correspondence.

AbstractWe show that the global (log) canonical threshold of d-sheeted covers of the M-dimensional projective space of index 1, where $$d\geqslant 4$$d⩾4, is equal to 1 for almost all families (except for a finite set). The varieties are assumed to have at most quadratic singularities, the rank of which is bounded from below, and to satisfy the regularity conditions. This implies birational rigidity of new large classes of Fano–Mori fibre spaces over a base, the dimension of which is bounded from above by a constant that depends (quadratically) on the dimension of the fibre only.

Let ∑ = PG(3, q) denote 3-dimensional projective space over GF(q). A partial spread of ∑ is a collection W of pairwise skew lines in ∑. W is said to be maximal if it is not properly contained in any other partial spread. If every point of ∑ is contained in some line of W, then W is called a spread. Since every spread of PG(3, q) consists of q2 + 1 lines, the deficiency of a partial spread W is defined to be the number d = q2 + 1 — |W|. A maximal partial spread of ∑ which is not a spread is called a maximal strictly partial spread (msp spread) of ∑.

We characterize Hermitian cones among the surfaces of degree$q+1$of$\text{PG}(3,q^{2})$by their intersection numbers with planes. We then use this result and provide a characterization of nonsingular Hermitian varieties of$\text{PG}(4,q^{2})$among quasi-Hermitian ones.

With the use of only the incidence axioms we prove and generalize Desargues’ two-triangle Theorem in three-dimensional projective space considering an arbitrary number of points on each one of the two distinct planes allowing corresponding points on the two planes to coincide and three points on any of the planes to be collinear. We provide three generalizations and we define the notions of a generalized line and a triangle-connected plane set of points.

For any two disjoint oriented circles embedded into the 3-dimensional real projective space, we construct a 3-dimensional configuration space and its map to the projective space such that the linking number of the circles is the half of the degree of the map. Similar interpretations are given for the linking number of cycles in a projective space of arbitrary odd dimension and the self-linking number of a zero homologous knot in the 3-dimensional projective space.

This paper presents a general approach to analyze the singularities of lower-mobility parallel manipulators with parallelogram joints. Using screw theory, the concept of twist graph is introduced and the twist graphs of two types of parallelogram joints are established in order to simplify the constraint analysis of the manipulators under study. Using Grassmann-Cayley Algebra, the geometric conditions associated with the dependency of six Plu¨cker vectors of finite and infinite lines in the 3-dimensional projective space are reformulated in the superbracket in order to derive the geometric conditions for parallel singularities. The methodology is applied to three lower-mobility parallel manipulators with parallelogram joints: the Delta-linear robot, the Orthoglide robot and the H4 robot. The geometric interpretations of the singularities of these robots are given.
