Laguerre Planes

AbstractThe classical 2-dimensional Laguerre plane is obtained as the geometry of non-trivial plane sections of a cylinder in R3 with a circle in R2 as base. Points and lines in R3 define subsets of the circle set of this geometry via the affine non-vertical planes that contain them. Furthemore, vertical lines and planes define partitions of the circle set via the points and affine non-vertical lines, respectively, contained in them.We investigate abstract counterparts of such sets of circles and partitions in arbitrary 2-dimensional Laguerre planes. We also prove a number of related results for generalized quadrangles associated with 2-dimensional Laguerre planes.

Kleinewillinghöfer Type

AbstractThe Kleinewillinghöfer types of Laguerre planes reflect the transitivity properties of certain groups of central automorphisms. Polster and Steinke have shown that some of the conceivable types for flat Laguerre planes cannot exist and given models for most of the other types. The existence of only a few types is still in doubt. One of these is type V.A.1, whose existence we prove here. In order to construct our model, we make systematic use of the restrictions imposed by the group. We conjecture that our example belongs to a one-parameter family of planes all of type V.A.1.

Kleinewillinghöfer Type

We provide examples of flat Laguerre planes of Kleinewillinghöfer type E, thus completing the classification of flat Laguerre planes with respect to Laguerre translations in B. Polster and G.F. Steinke, Results Maths. (2004). These planes are obtained by a method for constructing a new flat Laguerre plane from three given Laguerre planes devised in B. Polster and G. Steinke, Canad. Math. Bull. (1995) but no examples were given there.

Present Understanding

1. Introduction. Studies of radiation damage in ceramics are of interest not only from a fundamental point of view but also because it is important to understand the behavior of ceramics in various practical radiation enyironments- fission and fusion reactors, nuclear waste storage media, ion-implantation devices, outer space, etc. A great deal of work has been done on the spectroscopy of point defects and small defect clusters in ceramics, but relatively little has been performed on defect agglomeration using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) in the same kind of detail that has been so successful in metals. This article will assess our present understanding of radiation damage in ceramics with illustrations using results obtained from the authors' work.

Highly Evolved

Immediately after the Second World War Sweden was struck by a wave of sightings of strange flying objects. In some cases these mass sightings resulted in panic, particularly after authorities failed to identify them. Decades later, these phenomena were interpreted by two members of the Swedish UFO movement, Erland Sandqvist and Gösta Rehn, as alien spaceships, or UFOs. Rehn argued that ‘[t]here is nothing so dramatic in the Swedish history of UFOs as this invasion of alien fly-things’ (Rehn 1969: 50). In this article the interpretation of such sightings proposed by these authors, namely that we are visited by extraterrestrials from outer space, is approached from the perspective of myth theory. According to this mythical theme, not only are we are not alone in the universe, but also the history of humankind has been shaped by encounters with more highly-evolved alien beings. In their modern day form, these kinds of ideas about aliens and UFOs originated in the United States. The reasoning of Sandqvist and Rehn exemplifies the localization process that took place as members of the Swedish UFO movement began to produce their own narratives about aliens and UFOs. The question I will address is: in what ways do these stories change in new contexts? Texts produced by the Swedish UFO movement are analyzed as a case study of this process.
