Exercise 1.24. Show the matrix model for Fano’s Geometry is isomorphic to the two models given in Section 1.2.

 
points lines
  A, B, C, D, 
E, F, G
  ADB, AGE, AFC, BEC,
BGF, CGD, FDE


A model for Fano's Geometry.

  P1 P2 P3 P4 P5 P6 P7
l1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0
l2 1 0 0 0 0 1 1
l3 1 0 0 1 1 0 0
l4 0 1 0 1 0 1 0
l5 0 1 0 0 1 0 1
l6 0 0 1 1 0 0 1
l7 0 0 1 0 1 1 0

Set up a 1-1 correspondence between the points and lines by assigning A to 1 to P1, B to 3 to P2, C to 5 to P4, D to 2 to P3, E to 4 to P6, F to 6 to P5, and G to 7 to P7. (You should check that the lines also correspond.)
