Note on the extension to higher space of a theorem of Wallace
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 24 October 2008
Extract
The theorem is attributed to Wallace that, in a euclidean plane, the circumcircles of the triangles determined by four lines, of general position, meet at a point. It is further known that, in euclidean space of n dimensions, the circumhyperspheres of the simplices determined by n + 2 flats, of general position, meet at a point, if and only if n be even.
