Singular Fr\'egier Conics in Non-Euclidean Geometry

Metric Geometry 2018-07-31 v1

Abstract

The hypotenuses of all right triangles inscribed into a fixed conic CC with fixed right-angle vertex pp are incident with the Fr\'egier point ff to pp and CC. As pp varies on the conic, the locus of the Fr\'egier point is, in general, a conic as well. We study conics CC whose Fr\'egier locus is singular in Euclidean, elliptic and hyperbolic geometry. The richest variety of conics with this property is obtained in hyperbolic plane while in elliptic geometry only three families of conics have a singular Fr\'egier locus.
