What do we Expect?
Jim Hatton September 2012
Intersecting Lines
One “Point” – A “Loop”
Map the Number Line onto [-1,1]
Jim Hatton September 2012
Map Number Line Take 1
“captured” point at infinity .
Gave up “normal” distance metric
Map the Number Line onto [-1,1]
Jim Hatton September 2012
Map Number Line Take 2
All “points” the same.
Identify all antipodal points
Map the Number Line onto [-1,1]
Jim Hatton September 2012
Map Number Line Take 3
But we want to be looking at only one point
Map the Number Line onto [-1,1]
Jim Hatton September 2012
Map Number Line Take 4
So far, so good
Extend to Mapping the plane to the disk
The 3D Version – Plane onto a Sphere
Jim Hatton September 2012
Plane on a Sphere
We can draw a plane curve on a sphere
Now extend by mapping the plane to the disk
The 3D Version – Plane onto a Sphere – Part II
Jim Hatton September 2012
Plane on a Sphere- Part II
We can draw a plane curve on a sphere onto a disk
The Disk Model of the Projective Plane

Antipodal Points are Identified!
The Disk Model of the Projective Plane
Jim Hatton September 2012
We just stared at infinity!
Now compare behavior at infinity.
