Analogy Between Analogies

Filed under: General — Tags: , — m759 @ 9:27 pm

Consider . . .

A. The nontrivial analogy between the two parts of the well-known natural
15+15 partition of the 30 labelings of the Fano plane PG(2, 2)

B. The nontrivial analogy between the two parts of the well-known natural
15+15 partition of the 30 planes of the Klein quadric in PG(5, 2)

Are A and B nontrivially analogous? If so, how?

Update of 6:58 PM EDT Oct. 7 . . .

Hint:

Use as labels for PG(2, 2) points the seven nonzero vectors in the
3-space over GF(2), expressed as 001, 010, 011, 100, 101, 110, 111.
Then form three seven-digit vectors by taking the first, second, and third
digit in each 3-digit vector. View these seven-digit vectors as points of
the Klein quadric in PG(5, 2).
