Extending Arcs: An Elementary Proof
نویسنده
چکیده
In a finite projective plane π we consider two configuration conditions involving arcs in π and show via combinatorial means that they are equivalent. When the conditions hold we are able to obtain embeddability results for arcs, all proofs being elementary. In particular, when π = PG(2, q) with q even we provide short proofs of some well known embeddability results.

Triangulations of Surfaces
This paper uses an elementary surgery technique to give a simple topological proof of a theorem of Harer which says that the simplicial complex having as its top-dimensional simplices the isotopy classes of triangulations of a compact surface with a fixed set of vertices is contractible, except in a few special cases when it is homeomorphic to a sphere. (Triangulations here are allowed to have ...
متن کاملCo-elementary Equivalence, Co-elementary Maps, and Generalized Arcs
By a generalized arc we mean a continuum with exactly two non-separating points; an arc is a metrizable generalized arc. It is well known that any two arcs are homeomorphic (to the real closed unit interval); we show that any two generalized arcs are co-elementarily equivalent, and that co-elementary images of generalized arcs are generalized arcs. We also show that if f : X → Y is a function b...
متن کاملUniversity of Newcastle upon Tyne
We investigate the synthesis problem for ENCL-systems, defined as Elementary Net Systems extended with context (inhibitor and activator) arcs and explicit event localities. Since co-located events are meant to be executed synchronously, the behaviour of such systems is captured by step transition systems, where arcs are labelled by sets of events rather than by single events. We completely char...
متن کاملALGEBRAIC INDEPENDENCE OF CERTAIN FORMAL POWER SERIES (I)
We give a proof of the generalisation of Mendes-France and Van der Poorten's recent result over an arbitrary field of positive characteristic and then by extending a result of Carlitz, we shall introduce a class of algebraically independent series.
متن کاملCommutative Geometries are Spin Manifolds
In [1], Connes presented axioms governing noncommutative geometry. He went on to claim that when specialised to the commutative case, these axioms recover spin or spinc geometry depending on whether the geometry is “real” or not. We attempt to flesh out the details of Connes’ ideas. As an illustration we present a proof of his claim, partly extending the validity of the result to pseudo-Riemann...
