Astral (n 4 ) Configurations
@inproceedings{GrnbaumAstral4, title={Astral (n 4 ) Configurations}, author={Branko Gr{\"u}nbaum} }
A family of n points and n (straight) lines in the Euclidean plane is said to be an (n 4) configuration provided each point is on four of the lines and each line contains four of the points. A configuration may have various symmetries, that is, there may exist isometric mappings of the plane onto itself that map the configuration onto itself; all the symmetries of a configuration form its group of symmetries. It is obvious that no more than two points of a line can be in the same transitivity…

This work describes how to construct the first known family of $5-configurations with chiral (that is, only rotational) symmetry, and proves that the construction works; in addition, the construction technique produces the smallest known geometric 5- configuration.
