Abstract
In Definitions 5.2.1 and 5.1.1, projective and affine spaces were introduced by means of axioms, and in Propositions 5.2.2 and 5.1.3, the spaces ℙ(V) and \(\mathbb {A}(V)\), where V is a vector space, were shown to be examples. In this chapter we show that by and large there are no further examples.
