History and Overview 2019-12-19 v1 Metric Geometry

Abstract

Given fixed distinct points A,B,C,DA, B, C, D, we examine properties of the locus of points XX for which (XA,XC)(XA, XC), (XB,XD)(XB, XD) are isogonal. This locus is a cubic curve circumscribing ABCDABCD. We characterize all possible such cubics CR2\mathcal C \in \mathbb R^2. These properties allow us to present constructions involving these cubics, such as intersections and tangent lines, using straightedge and compass.
