Abstract

We study the locus of the Circumcenter of Mass of Poncelet polygons, and the limit of the Center of Mass (when we consider the polygon as a "homogeneous lamina") for degenerate Poncelet polygons. We also provide a proof for one of Dan Reznik invariants for billiard trajectories. Plus, we take a look at how the scene looks like when we shift to spherical geometry.
