Oval (projective plane)

In projective geometry an oval is a point set in a plane that is defined by incidence properties. The standard examples are the nondegenerate conics. However, a conic is only defined in a pappian plane, whereas an oval may exist in any type of projective plane. In the literature, there are many criteria which imply that an oval is a conic, but there are many examples, both infinite and finite, of ovals in pappian planes which are not conics. As mentioned, in projective geometry an oval is defined by incidence properties, but in other areas, ovals may be defined to satisfy other criteria, for instance, in differential geometry by differentiability conditions in the real plane. The higher dimensional analog of an oval is an ovoid in a projective space. A generalization of the oval concept is an abstract oval, which is a structure that is not necessarily embedded in a projective plane. Indeed, there exist abstract ovals which can not lie in any projective plane. (Wikipedia).

Projective view of conics and quadrics | Differential Geometry 9 | NJ Wildberger

In this video we introduce projective geometry into the study of conics and quadrics. Our point of view follows Mobius and Plucker: the projective plane is considered as the space of one-dimensional subspaces of a three dimensional vector space, or in other words lines through the origin.

Projective Coordinates for Points and Lines | Algebraic Calculus One | Wild Egg and Anna Tomskova

Dr Anna Tomskova explains a more modern framework for projective geometry where the extra coordinate often associated with infinity is the first coordinate in a projective vector. This gives us a uniform way to associate to affine points and lines projective points and lines, with the adva
