Abstract

By following ideas of synthetic real projective geometry rather than classical algebraic geometry, maps in a finite-dimensional desarguesian projective space are used to generate normal curves. We aim at solving the problems of classification, automorphic collineations and generating maps of arbitrary non-degenerate normal curves and degenerate normal curves in desarguesian projective planes (also called degenerate conics). Properties of normal curves are shown, on one hand, by using methods of projective geometry as well as linear algebra and, on the other hand, by applying results on the non-existence of certain types of ordinary and generalized polynomial identities with coefficients in a not necessarily commutative field.
