21_4 Configuration


A 21_4 configuration is an abstract configuration of 21 points and 21 lines, with exactly four lines incident with each point and exactly four points incident with each line. Two distinct points are incident with at most one common line. A geometric realization represents these incidences by points and straight lines in the real projective plane, without adding incidences between the selected points and lines.

The Grünbaum-Rigby configuration and the Berman-Gévay-Pisanski configuration are nonisomorphic real geometric examples. Berman et al. (2024) classified the polycyclic configurations of this order: there are 17 abstract polycyclic configurations up to isomorphism, exactly two of which have geometric polycyclic realizations. These two are the named examples above. The polycyclic classification does not classify all 21_4 configurations.
