    Added to Klein geometry a section History with quotations for where exactly Klein actually speaks about G/HG/H.

    (This key passages is a bit hidden in Klein’s text, appearing at a somewhat unexpected point somewhere in the middle of a 35 page document.)

  1. Iso(d,1)Iso(d,1) contains parity-reversal and time-reversal. To obtain d+1\mathbb{R}^{d+1} from a quotient of Iso(d,1)Iso(d,1), we must quotient these out. Therefore the stabilizer subgroup HH is O(d,1)O(d,1) rather than SO(d,1)SO(d,1).

    thanks for catching. It was, luckily, correct in the table right below that erroneous line.

    I have added the publication data and the DOI for the German original, and the projeceuclid-link for the English translation of:

    I have added a brief example (here) mentioning that the usual study of crystallography through crystallographic symmetry groups is much in the spirit of Klein geometry (even though I have not yet seen an author admitting this).

    We need some disambiguation, as nowadays many papers take Kleinian geometry to mean geometry modeled over d,d\mathbb{R}^{d,d}.

    I started a disambiguation here

    (But please feel invited to do such things yourself!)

    Thanks, Urs, I actually meant that comment as a note to myself since I had to go take care of something else. I’ll go ahead and create a separate page for this, as I’m planning on adding a couple of related references soon.
