Note on Desargues’ Theorem

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  03 November 2016

Extract

Major Dixon has given in the Gazette for May an interesting representation, suggested, perhaps, by Hilbert's example of a non-desarguesian geometry, of a plane geometry, in which straight lines are represented by closed curves on a closed convex surface devoid of singularitles. Employing his theory of order and “collation,” he constructs this geometry so as to be desarguesian.
