摘要
We use reduced homogeneous coordinates to construct and study the (semi-)Riemannian geometry of the octonionic (or Cayley) projective plane OP2, the octonionic projective plane of indefinite signature OP(1,1), the para-octonionic (or split octonionic) projective plane O'P-2 and the hyperbolic dual of the octonionic projective plane OH2. We also show that our manifolds are isometric to the (para-)octonionic projective planes defined classically by quotients of Lie groups. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
