Pompeiu's theorem and the moduli space of triangles

History and Overview 2021-02-08 v2

Abstract

We introduce a kind of converse of Pompeiu's theorem. Fix an equilateral triangle A0B0C0\triangle A_0B_0C_0, then for any triangle ABC\triangle ABC there is a unique point PP inside the circumcircle Γ0\Gamma_0 of A0B0C0\triangle A_0B_0C_0 such that a triangle with edge lengths PA0,PB0PA_0, PB_0, and PC0PC_0 is similar to ABC\triangle ABC. It follows that an open disc inside Γ0\Gamma_0 can be considered as a moduli space of similarity classes of triangles. We show that it is essentially equivalent to another moduli space based on a shape function of triangles which has been used in preceding studies.
