In differential geometry and the study of Lie group s, a parabolic geometry is a homogeneous space G P which is the quotient of a semisimple Lie group G by a parabolic subgroup P . More generally, the curved analogs of a parabolic geometry in this sense is also called a parabolic geometry any geometry that is modeled on such a space by means of a Cartan connection . The projective space P sup n sup is an example. It is the homogeneous space PGL n 1 H where H is the isotropy group of a line. In this geometrical space, the notion of a straight line is meaningful, but there is no preferred affine parameter along the lines. The curved analog of projective space is a manifold in which the notion of a geodesic makes sense, but for which there are no preferred parametrizations on those geodesics. A projective connection is the relevant Cartan connection that gives a means for describing a projective geometry by gluing copies of the projective space to the tangent spaces of the base manifold. Broadly speaking, projective geometry refers to the study of manifolds with this kind of connection. Another example is the conformal geometry conformal sphere . Topologically, it is the n sphere, but there is no notion of length defined on it, just of angle between curves. Equivalently, this geometry is described as an equivalence class of Riemannian metric s on the sphere called a conformal class . The group of transformations that preserve angles on the sphere is the Lorentz group O n 1,1 , and so S sup n sup O n 1,1 P . Conformal geometry is, more broadly, the study of manifolds with a conformal equivalence class of Riemannian metrics, i.e., manifolds modeled on the conformal sphere.

No footnotes date April 2009 In mathematics , algebraic geometry and analytic geometry are two closely related subjects. While algebraic geometry studies algebraic variety algebraic varieties , analytic geometry deals with complex manifold s and the more general analytic space s defined locally by the vanishing of analytic function s of several complex variables . The deep relation between these subjects has numerous applications in which algebraic techniques are applied to analytic spaces and analytic techniques to algebraic varieties. Background Algebraic varieties are locally defined as the common zero sets of polynomials and since polynomials over the complex numbers are holomorphic function s, algebraic varieties over C can be interpreted as analytic spaces. Similarly, regular morphisms between varieties are interpreted as holomorphic mappings between analytic spaces. Somewhat surprisingly, it is often possible to go the other way, to interpret analytic objects in an algebraic way ... geometry and analytic geometry, beginning in the nineteenth century and still continuing today ..., the Lefschetz principle , named for Solomon Lefschetz , was cited in algebraic geometry to justify the use of topological techniques for algebraic geometry over any algebraically closed field K of characteristic ... asserts that true statements in algebraic geometry over C are true over any algebraically closed ...

In theoretical physics , quantum geometry is the set of new mathematical concepts generalizing the concepts of geometry whose understanding is necessary to describe the physical phenomena at very short distance scales comparable to Planck length . At these distances, quantum mechanics has a profound effect on physics. Each theory of quantum gravity uses the term quantum geometry in a slightly different fashion. String theory , a leading candidate for a quantum theory of gravity, uses the term quantum geometry to describe exotic phenomena such as T duality and other geometric dualities, mirror symmetry , topology changing transitions, minimal possible distance scale, and other effects that challenge our usual geometrical intuition. More technically, quantum geometry refers to the shape of the spacetime manifold as seen by D branes which includes the quantum corrections to the metric tensor , such as the worldsheet instanton s. For example, the quantum volume of a cycle is computed from the mass of a brane wrapped on this cycle. In an alternative approach to quantum gravity called loop quantum gravity LQG , the phrase quantum geometry usually refers to the Scientific formalism formalism within LQG where the observables that capture the information about the geometry are now well defined ... a discrete spectrum . It has also been shown that the loop quantum geometry is non commutative geometry non commutative . It is possible but considered unlikely that this strictly quantized understanding of geometry will be consistent with the quantum picture of geometry arising from string theory.

This usage can be applied to a triangle , parallelogram , trapezoids , Cylinder geometry cylinder , pyramid , parallelopiped or frustum . By extension, the length or area of a base is also called a base. As such, bases are commonly used in formulas for area and volume .

In real time computer graphics , geometry instancing is the practice of Rendering computer graphics rendering multiple copies of the same polygon mesh mesh in a scene at once. This technique is primarily used for objects such as trees, grass, or buildings which can be represented as repeated geometry without appearing unduly repetitive, but may also be used for characters. Although vertex data is duplicated across all instanced meshes, each instance may have other differentiating parameters such as color, or skeletal animation Pose computer vision pose changed in order to reduce the appearance of repetition. API support for geometry instancing Starting in Direct3D version 9, Microsoft included support for geometry instancing. This method improves the potential runtime performance of rendering instanced geometry by explicitly allowing multiple copies of a mesh to be rendered sequentially by specifying the differentiating parameters for each in a separate stream. The same functionality is exposed in OpenGL using the EXT draw instanced extension. Geometry instancing in offline rendering Geometry instancing in Maya software Maya usually involves mapping a pre animated object or geometry to particles, which can then be rendered in any renderer. Geometry instancing in Maya is useful for creating things like swarms of bees or wasps, in which each one can be detailed, but still behaves in a realisitic way that does not have to be determined by the animator. Because instancing geometry in Maya or any other 3D package only references the original object, file sizes are kept very small and changing the original changes all of the instances. Video cards that support geometry instancing GeForce 6000 and up NV40 GPU or later ATI Radeon 9500 and up R300 GPU or later .
