Facet (geometry)
In geometry, a facet is a feature of a polyhedron, polytope, or related geometric structure, generally of dimension one less than the structure itself. More specifically: In three-dimensional geometry, a facet of a polyhedron is any polygon whose corners are vertices of the polyhedron, and is not a face. To facet a polyhedron is to find and join such facets to form the faces of a new polyhedron; this is the reciprocal process to stellation and may also be applied to higher-dimensional polytopes.
Flag (geometry)
In (polyhedral) geometry, a flag is a sequence of faces of a polytope, each contained in the next, with exactly one face from each dimension. More formally, a flag ψ of an n-polytope is a set {F_–1, F_0, ..., F_n} such that F_i ≤ F_i+1 (–1 ≤ i ≤ n – 1) and there is precisely one F_i in ψ for each i, (–1 ≤ i ≤ n). Since, however, the minimal face F_–1 and the maximal face F_n must be in every flag, they are often omitted from the list of faces, as a shorthand. These latter two are called improper faces.
Plan projectif réel
En géométrie, le plan projectif réel, noté RP ou P(R), est un exemple simple d'espace projectif (le corps des scalaires est constitué des nombres réels et la dimension est 2), permettant d'illustrer les mécanismes fondamentaux de la géométrie projective. Notamment, des représentations graphiques simples sont possibles qui font apparaître les caractéristiques propres à cette géométrie, contrairement au cas d'espaces construits sur d'autres corps.
