Symplectic Topology
... Theorem (Cartan): If the symmetry group is infinite-dimensional it’s Diff(R k ) or Vol(R k ), or Symp(R 2k ) or Cont(R 2k+1), or a conformal analogue, with no exceptional cases. Symplectic geometry, and it’s odd-dimensional cousin “contact geometry”, are hence very natural, but we won’t come back to ...

... We have proved the side-angle-side (SAS) congruence criterion in class (Euclid’s Proposition I-4), and we will prove the side-side-side (SSS) congruence criterion (Euclid’s Proposition I-8) soon. 1. (Exercises 2.3B #3) Use the notion of an application to prove the angle-side-angle (ASA) congruence c ...

... lines are non-existent. The non-Euclidean geometry developed by Gauss could be model on a sphere where as Lobachevskian’s geometry had no physical model. For this reason, Riemannian geometries are also referred to as a spherical geometry or elliptical geometry. Riemann also made several contribution ...

A Quick Introduction to Non-Euclidean Geometry
... Note. Euclid’s Elements consists of 13 books which include 465 propositions. American high-school geometry texts contain much of the material from Books I, III, IV, VI, XI, and XII. No copies of the Elements survive from Euclid’s time. Modern editions are based on a version prepared by Theon of Alex ...

... endpoints? Does this number depend on which points you choose? How does this compare to Euclidean geometry? Lines and Angle Measure 4. Construct two lines (great circles) on the sphere. It is important to remember that lines must divide the sphere into two identical pieces. In how many points do the ...

... Definition We say an incidence geometry satisfies the Euclidean Parallel Property, denoted EPP, or Playfair’s Parallel Postulate, if for any line ` and any point P there exists a unique line through P parallel to `. We have already seen that if a neutral geometry satisfies Euclid’s Fifth Postulate, ...
