One-point compactification and projectivization #
We construct a set-theoretic equivalence between
OnePoint K and the projectivization ℙ K (K × K) for an arbitrary division ring K.
TODO: Add the extension of this equivalence to a homeomorphism in the case K = ℝ,
where OnePoint ℝ gets the topology of one-point compactification.

Equations
The one-point compactification of a division ring K is equivalent to
the projectivization ℙ K (K × K).
Equations
Instances For
For a field K, the group GL(2, K) acts on OnePoint K, via the canonical identification
with the ℙ¹(K) (which is given explicitly by Möbius transformations).
Equations
The roots of g.fixpointPolynomial are the fixed points of g ∈ GL(2, K) acting on the finite
part of OnePoint K.
If g is parabolic, this is the unique fixed point of g in OnePoint K.
Equations
Instances For
Elliptic elements have no fixed points in OnePoint K.
