Abstract

Given two parallelisms of a projective space we describe a construction, called blending, that yields a (possibly new) parallelism of this space. For a projective double space (P, ‖ ℓ, ‖ r) over a quaternion skew field we characterise the “Clifford-like” parallelisms, i.e. the blends of the Clifford parallelisms ‖ ℓ and ‖ r, in a geometric and an algebraic way. Finally, we establish necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of Clifford-like parallelisms that are not Clifford.
