Abstract

This paper examines two ways in which the 'privileged coordinates' of a geometric space might have significance. First, the structure of the space might be 'determined by its privileged coordinates'. Second, the space might be presentable using 'Kleinian methods'. We examine the geometric spaces for which these two conditions hold. Along the way, we investigate the relationship between these two conditions.
