四面体的高与无迹二次型

Altitudes of a Tetrahedron and Traceless Quadratic Forms

Hans Havlicek, Gunter Weiß

AI总结:

本文指出一般四面体的高并不共点,而是相互异面,并作为等边双曲面的母线,这一结论由施泰纳于1827年首次提出。

摘要:

众所周知,三角形的三条高交于一点,即三角形的垂心。因此人们可能期望四面体的高也交于一点。然而,瑞士几何学家雅各布·施泰纳(Jakob Steiner,1796–1863)早在1827年就已指出,一般四面体的高是相互异面的,因为它们是等边双曲面的母线。

英文摘要:

It is well known that the three altitudes of a triangle are concurrent at the so-called orthocenter of the triangle. So one might expect that the altitudes of a tetrahedron also meet at a point. However, it was already pointed out in 1827 by the Swiss geometer Jakob Steiner (1796--1863) that the altitudes of a general tetrahedron are mutually skew, for they are generators of an equilateral hyperboloid.
