Some incidence theorems and integrable discrete equations

Abstract

Several incidence theorems of planar projective geometry are considered. It is demonstrated that generalizations of the Pascal theorem due to Mobius give rise to the double cross-ratio equation and the Hietarinta equation. The construction corresponding to the double cross-ratio equation is a reduction to a conic section of some planar configuration (203154). This configuration provides a correct definition of the multi-dimensional quadrilateral lattices on the plane. © Springer 2006.
