A triality is a sort of super-symmetry that exchanges the types of the elements of an incidence geometry in cycles of length three. Although geometries with trialities exhibit fascinating behaviors, their construction is challenging, making…
We use group theory to construct infinite families of maps on surfaces which are invariant under Wilson's map operations of order 3 but not under the operations of order 2, such as duality and Petrie duality.
We introduce the notion of moving absolute geometry of a geometry with triality and show that, in the classical case where the triality is of type $(I_\sigma)$ and the absolute geometry is a generalized hexagon, the moving absolute geometry…
By analogy with the definition of group with triality we introduce Lie algebra with triality as Lie algebra L wich admits the group of automorphisms S_3={s,r | s^2=r^3=1, srs=r^2} such that for any x\in L we have…
Working over an arbitrary base scheme, we provide an alternative development of triality which does not use Octonion algebras or symmetric composition algebras. Instead, we use the Clifford algebra of the split hyperbolic quadratic form of…
We introduce a notion of Pre-structurable Algebras based upon triality relations and study its relation to structurable algebra of Allison, as well as to Lie algebras satisfying triality.
We study incidence geometries that are thin and residually connected. These geometries generalise abstract polytopes. In this generalised setting, guided by the ideas from the polytopes theory, we introduce the concept of chirality, a…
Guided by the ideas of chirality in the abstract polytope theory, the present paper aims to extend the concept to a more general setting of incidence geometries. The purpose of this paper is to explore the more general framework of thin…
Let $P$ be a set of points and $L$ a set of lines in the (extended) Euclidean plane, and $I \subseteq P\times L$, where $i =(p,l) \in I$ means that point $p$ and line $l$ are incident. The incidences can be interpreted as quadratic…
We show that various classical theorems of real/complex linear incidence geometry, such as the theorems of Pappus, Desargues, M\"obius, and so on, can be interpreted as special cases of a single "master theorem" that involves an arbitrary…
The property of triality only appears in one linear simple Lie algebra: $D_4$, a.k.a. $\mathfrak{so}(8, \mathbb{C})$. Though often explored in abstract, it is desirable to have an explicit realization of the concept since there are no other…
Recently, Leemans and Stokes constructed an infinite family of incidence geometries admitting trialities but no dualities from the groups PSL(2,q) (where $q=p^{3n}$ with $p$ a prime and $n>0$ a positive integer). Unfortunately these…
Trialitarian automorphisms are related to automorphisms of order 3 of the Dynkin diagram of type D4. Octic etale algebras with trivial discriminant, containing quartic subalgebras, are classified by Galois cohomology with value in the Weyl…
We demonstrate a construction method based on a gain function that is defined on the incidence graph of an incidence geometry. Restricting to when the incidence geometry is a linear space, we show that the construction yields a generalized…
A projective rectangle is like a projective plane that has different lengths in two directions. We develop the basic theory of projective rectangles including incidence properties, projective subplanes, configuration counts, a partial…
A polarity of a projective plane is a map, often assumed to be involutive, mapping a generic point to a generic line and reciprocally. The most classical polarity is the polarity with respect to a conic, but other exist: the harmonic…
We characterise sets of points of exceptional Lie incidence geometries, that is, the natural geometries arising from spherical buildings of exceptional types $\mathsf{F_4}$, $\mathsf{E_6}$, $\mathsf{E_7}$, $\mathsf{E_8}$ and $\mathsf{G_2}$,…
A configuration of the triple $(\mathcal{P}, \mathcal{L}, \mathcal{I})$ on the incidence relation which holds the properties of "Any two points are incident with at most one line" and "Any two lines are incident with at most one point". In…
The problem of interpreting a set of ${\cal W}$-algebra constraints constructed in terms of an arbitrarily twisted scalar field as the recursion relations of a topological theory is addressed. In this picture, the conventional models of…
In this paper a generalisation of the notion of polarity is exhibited which allows to completely describe, in an incidence-geometric way, the linear complexes of $h$-subspaces. A generalised polarity is defined to be a partial map which…
