Homothetic center

In geometry, a homothetic center (also called a center of similarity or a center of similitude) is a point from which at least two geometrically similar figures can be seen as a dilation or contraction of one another. If the center is external, the two figures are directly similar to one another; their angles have the same rotational sense. If the center is internal, the two figures are scaled mirror images of one another; their angles have the opposite sense. (Wikipedia).

Oriented circles and relativistic geometry II | Wild Linear Algebra 35 | NJ Wildberger

We continue our discussion of oriented, or signed, or directed circles in the plane, which are also called cycles, and the intimate connection with relativistic geometry in three dimensions. This correspondence makes it easier for us to apply linear algebraic ideas to the geometry of circl

Orthocenters exist! | Universal Hyperbolic Geometry 10 | NJ Wildberger

In classical hyperbolic geometry, orthocenters of triangles do not in general exist. Here in universal hyperbolic geometry, they do. This is a crucial building block for triangle geometry in this subject. The dual of an orthocenter is called an ortholine---also not seen in classical hyperb

R. Bamler - Uniqueness of Weak Solutions to the Ricci Flow and Topological Applications 1 (vt)

I will present recent work with Kleiner in which we verify two topological conjectures using Ricci flow. First, we classify the homotopy type of every 3-dimensional spherical space form. This proves the Generalized Smale Conjecture and gives an alternative proof of the Smale Conjecture, wh
