This research note presents a complete treatment of the connection
between topological circle planes and topological generalized
quadrangles. The author uses this connection to provide a better
understanding of the relationships between different types of
circle planes and to solve a topological version of the problem of
Apollonius. Topological Circle Planes and Topological Quadrangles
begins with a foundation in classical circle planes and the real
symmetric generalized quadrangle and the connection between them.
This provides a solid base from which the author offers a more
generalized exploration of the topological case. He also compares
this treatment to the finite case. Subsequent chapters examine
Laguerre, Moebius, and Minkowski planes and their respective
relationships to antiregular quadrangles. The author addresses the
Lie geometry of each and discuss the relationships of circle
planes-the "sisters" of Moebius, Laguerre, and Minkowski planes -
and concludes by solving a topological version of the problem of
Apollonius in Laguerre, Moebius, and Minkowski planes. The
treatment offered in this volume offers complete coverage of the
topic. The first part of the text is accessible to anyone with a
background in analytic geometry, while the second part requires
basic knowledge in general and algebraic topology. Researchers
interested in geometry-particularly in topological geometry-will
find this volume intriguing and informative. Most of the results
presented are new and can be applied to various problems in the
field of topological circle planes. Features
