Extract

In this paper we shall set out the generalization, for n-dimensional space Sn, of some recent results about complete quadrics and complete collineations in S2, S3 and S4. For the results about complete conies in S2, originally introduced by Study [1], we refer the reader to papers by Severi ([2], [3]), van der Waerden [4], Semple [5]; for those about complete quadrics in S3, to Semple ([6], [7]); for the extension to S4 to Alguneid [8]; for the general concept of complete collineations in Sn, and for results in S2 and S3, to Semple [9].
