Desargues' theorem and Desarguesian planes The theorem of Desargues is universally valid in a projective plane if and only if the plane can be constructed from a three-dimensional vector space over a skewfield as above.
For the latter group of researchers, there are no projective spaces except the Desarguesian spaces."
On the one hand, the researcher into the foundations of geometry tends to regard Desarguesian spaces as completely known.
The real (or complex) projective plane and the projective plane of order 3 given above are examples of Desarguesian projective planes.
