For edge in graph theory Edge graph theory In geometry , an edge is a line segment joining two adjacent vertices in a polygon . Thus applied, an edge is a connector for a one dimensional line segment and two zero dimensional objects. A planar closed sequence of edges forms a polygon and a Face geometry face . In a polyhedron , exactly two faces meet at every edge , while in higher dimensional polytope s, three or more faces meet at an edge . In a polygon, an edge can also be called a Facet geometry facet or side , bounding the polygon. In a polyhedron , an edge can also be considered a Ridge geometry ridge , being the shared boundary between two faces, and in a 4 polytope , an edge can be considered a Peak geometry peak , with a cycle of 3 or more faces and Cell geometry cells wrapping around it.

In differential geometry and the study of Lie group s, a parabolic geometry is a homogeneous space G P which is the quotient of a semisimple Lie group G by a parabolic subgroup P . More generally, the curved analogs of a parabolic geometry in this sense is also called a parabolic geometry any geometry that is modeled on such a space by means of a Cartan connection . Examples The projective space P sup n sup is an example. It is the homogeneous space PGL n 1 H where H is the isotropy group of a line. In this geometrical space, the notion of a straight line is meaningful, but there is no preferred affine parameter along the lines. The curved analog of projective space is a manifold in which the notion of a geodesic makes sense, but for which there are no preferred parametrizations on those geodesics. A projective connection is the relevant Cartan connection that gives a means for describing a projective geometry by gluing copies of the projective space to the tangent spaces of the base manifold. Broadly speaking, projective geometry refers to the study of manifolds with this kind of connection. Another example is the conformal geometry conformal sphere . Topologically, it is the n sphere, but there is no notion of length defined on it, just of angle between curves. Equivalently, this geometry is described as an equivalence class of Riemannian metric s on the sphere called a conformal class . The group of transformations that preserve angles on the sphere is the Lorentz group O n 1,1 , and so S sup n sup O n 1,1 P . Conformal geometry is, more broadly, the study of manifolds with a conformal equivalence class of Riemannian metrics, i.e., manifolds modeled on the conformal sphere.

Unreferenced date December 2009 Hand geometry is a Biometrics biometric that identifies users by the shape of their hands. Hand geometry readers measure a user s hand along many dimensions and compare those measurements to measurements stored in a file. Viable hand geometry devices have been manufactured since the early 1980s, making hand geometry the first biometric to find widespread computerized use. It remains popular common applications include access control and time and attendance operations. Since hand geometry is not thought to be as unique as fingerprint s or Iris anatomy irises , fingerprinting and iris recognition remain the preferred technology for high security applications. Hand geometry is very reliable when combined with other forms of identification, such as identification card s or personal identification numbers.

In mathematics , birational geometry is a part of the subject of algebraic geometry , that deals with the geometry of an algebraic variety that is dependent only on its Function field of an algebraic variety function field . In the case of dimension two, the birational geometry of algebraic surfaces was largely worked out by the Italian school of algebraic geometry in the years 1890&ndash 1910. From about 1970 advances have been made in higher dimensions, giving a good theory of birational geometry for dimension three. Birational geometry is largely a geometry of transformations, but it doesn t fit exactly with the Erlangen programme . One reason is that its nature is to deal with transformations that are only defined on an open, dense subset of an algebraic variety. Such transformations, given by rational function s in the co ordinates, can be undefined not just at isolated points on curves, but on entire curves on a surface, and so on. Birational mapping A birational mapping between irreducible varieties V and W is a morphism such that its restriction to an open subset U of V is an isomorphism. One of the first results in the subject is the birational isomorphism of the projective plane , and a non singular quadric Q in projective 3 space. Already in this example whole sets have ill defined mappings taking a point P on Q as origin, we can use lines through P , intersecting Q at one other point, to project to a plane &mdash but this definition breaks down with all lines tangent to Q at P , which in a certain sense blow up P into the intersection of the tangent plane with the plane to which we project.

Wikify date September 2011 In mathematics, a Buekenhout geometry or diagram geometry is a generalization of projective space , Tits building s, and several other geometric structures, introduced by harvtxt Buekenhout 1979 . Definition A Buekenhout geometry consists of a set X whose elements are called varieties , with a symmetric reflexive relation on X called incidence , together with a function called the type map from X to a set whose elements are called types and whose size is called the rank . A flag is a subset of X such that any two elements of the flag are incident. The Buekenhout geometry has to satisfy the following axiom Every flag is contained in a flag with exactly one variety of each type. Example X is the linear subspaces of a projective space with two subspaces incident if one is contained in the other, is the set of possible dimensions of linear subspaces, and the type map takes a linear subspace to its dimension. If F is a flag, the residue of F consists of all elements of X that are not in F but are incident with all elements of F . The residue of a flag forms a Buekenhout geometry in the obvious way, whose type are the types of X that are not types of F . A geometry is said to have some property residually if every residue of rank at least 2 has the property. In particular a geometry is called residually connected if every residue of rank at least 2 is connected for the incidence relation . Diagrams The diagram of a Buekenhout geometry has a point for each type, and two points x , y are connected with a line labeled to indicate what sort of geometry the rank 2 residues of type x , y have as follows. If the rank 2 residue is a digon, meaning any variety .... This is the next most common case.

Expert subject Mathematics date November 2008 Unreferenced date May 2010 In mathematics and physics , in particular differential geometry and general relativity , a warped geometry is a Riemannian manifold Riemannian or Lorentzian manifold whose metric tensor can be written in form math ds 2 , g ab y dy a dy b f y g ij x dx i dx j math Note that the geometry almost decomposes into a Cartesian product of the y geometry and the x geometry except that the x part is warped, i.e. it is rescaled by a scalar function of the other coordinates y . For this reason, the metric of a warped geometry is often called a warped product metric. Warped geometries are useful in that separation of variables can be used when solving partial differential equation s over them. Examples Warped geometries acquire their full meaning when we substitute the variable y for t, time and x, for s, space. Then the d y factor of the spatial dimension becomes the effect of time that in words of Einstein curves space . How it curves space will define one or other solution to a space time world. For that reason different models of space time use warped geometries. Many basic solutions of the Einstein field equations are warped geometries, for example the Schwarzschild solution and the Friedmann Lema tre Robertson Walker metric Friedmann Lemaitre Robertson Walker models .
