Danzer's configuration
In mathematics, Danzer's configuration is a self-dual configuration of 35 lines and 35 points, having 4 points on each line and 4 lines through each point. It is named after the German geometer Ludwig Danzer and was popularised by Branko Grünbaum. The Levi graph of the configuration is the Kronecker cover of the odd graph O4, and is isomorphic to the middle layer graph of the seven-dimensional hypercube graph Q7. The middle layer graph of an odd-dimensional hypercube graph Q2n+1 is a subgraph whose vertex set consists of all binary strings of length 2n + 1 that have exactly n or n + 1 entries equal to 1, with an edge between any two vertices for which the corresponding binary strings differ in exactly one bit. Every middle layer graph is Hamiltonian.
Danzer's configuration DCD is the fourth term of an infinite series of configurations DCD, where DCD is the trivial configuration, DCD is the trilateral and DCD is the Desargues configuration. In configurations DCD were further generalized to the unbalanced configuration DCD by introducing parameter d with connection DCD = DCD. DCD stands for Desargues-Cayley-Danzer. Each DCD configuration is a subconfiguration of
the Clifford configuration. While each DCD admits a realisation as a geometric point-line configuration, the Clifford configuration can only be realised as a point-circle configuration
and depicts the Clifford's circle theorems.
