A general plane quartic curve is a curve of the form (1) Examples include the ampersand curve, bean curve, bicorn, bicuspid curve, bifoliate, bifolium, bitangent-rich curve, ...

Two lines or plane congruent geometric figures which lie on top of each other are said to be coincident.

Given a set S of points in the plane, an enclosing circle is a circle for which all points S lie in its interior.

A plane curve of the form y=x^n. For n>0, the curve is a generalized parabola; for n<0 it is a generalized hyperbola.

The plane through the midpoint of a line segment and perpendicular to that segment, also called a mediating plane. The term "mediator" was introduced by J. Neuberg ...

The tangential triangle is the triangle DeltaT_AT_BT_C formed by the lines tangent to the circumcircle of a given triangle DeltaABC at its vertices. It is therefore antipedal ...

A flow defined analogously to the axiom A diffeomorphism, except that instead of splitting the tangent bundle into two invariant sub-bundles, they are split into three (one ...

Let gamma(t) be a smooth curve in a manifold M from x to y with gamma(0)=x and gamma(1)=y. Then gamma^'(t) in T_(gamma(t)), where T_x is the tangent space of M at x. The ...

Suppose for every point x in a manifold M, an inner product <·,·>_x is defined on a tangent space T_xM of M at x. Then the collection of all these inner products is called ...

A map T:(M_1,omega_1)->(M_2,omega_2) between the symplectic manifolds (M_1,omega_1) and (M_2,omega_2) which is a diffeomorphism and T^*(omega_2)=omega_1, where T^* is the ...
