Imaginaries in Geometry
Мнимости в геометрии. Расширение области двухмерных образов геометрии (Опыт нового истолкования мнимостей)
A short treatise published at the author's expense in 1922. It proposes interpreting imaginary numbers as the reverse side of a surface, and applies this to relativity: beyond the speed of light an 'imaginary' space, the invisible world, would begin. Drawing on Dante's Paradiso, it defends a geocentric cosmology and places the boundary between Earth and Heaven between the orbits of Uranus and Neptune. Its cover was designed by Vladimir Favorsky.
