Abstract

In Vittone and Chassery (Proc. of DGCI'97, Vol. 1347 of Lecture Notes in Computer Sciences, 1997, pp. 87-98) J.-M. Chassery and J. Vittone studied local configurations of (m,n)-cubes in naive planes in function of the parameters of these naive planes. More precisely, they enumerated the bicubes and the tricubes that appear in a naive hyperplane of parameters (a,b,c). A symmetry about the line c=a+b appears clearly in this enumeration. The aim of this paper is to prove that the configurations of (nn)-cubes in the plane of parameters (a,b,c) are in one-to-one relation with those in the plane of parameters (c-b, c-a,c). If we restrict the parameters to the planes such that a+bc, we note a second symmetry about the line c=2b; We also prove this symmetry. We generalize a theorem established by Rveilles and Grard (Grard, Proc. of DGCI'99, Vol. 1568 of Lecture Notes in Computer Sciences, 1999, pp. 65-75, Reveilles, Vision Geometry 4, Vol. 2573 of SPIE 95, San Diego, 1995) and these symmetries to the local configurations of planes of given thickness.
