Projective geometry and special relativity
  Some concepts of real and complex projective geometry are applied to the fundamental physical notions that relate to Minkowski space and the Lorentz group. In particular, it is shown that the transition from an infinite speed of propagation for light waves to a finite one entails the replacement of a hyperplane at infinity with a light cone and the replacement of an affine hyperplane - or rest space - with a proper time hyperboloid. The transition from the metric theory of electromagnetism to the pre-metric theory is discussed in the context of complex projective geometry, and ultimately it is proposed that the geometrical issues are more general than electromagnetism, namely, they pertain to the transition from point mechanics to wave mechanics.
