Parabolic geometry may refer to:
- Euclidean geometry, where Euclidean space is viewed as the natural representation space of the group of Euclidean motions
- The geometry of a Riemannian manifold admitting no positive Green's function
- Parabolic geometry (differential geometry): The homogeneous space defined by a semisimple Lie group modulo a parabolic subgroup, or the curved analog of such a space
Famous quotes containing the word geometry:
“The geometry of landscape and situation seems to create its own systems of time, the sense of a dynamic element which is cinematising the events of the canvas, translating a posture or ceremony into dynamic terms. The greatest movie of the 20th century is the Mona Lisa, just as the greatest novel is Gray’s Anatomy.”
