超越笛卡尔圆定理
Beyond the Descartes circle theorem
摘要:
笛卡尔圆定理指出,如果四个圆以不相交的交点相切,则它们的曲率(或“弯曲”)b_j = 1/r_j满足关系式(b_1 + b_2 + b_3 + b_4)^2 = 2(b_1^2 + b_2^2 + b_3^2 + b_4^2)。我们发现,类似的关系举行涉及在这样的配置,协调为复数,产生一个复杂的笛卡尔定理的圆心。这些关系有矩阵推广到n维的情况下,在每一个欧几里德,球面和双曲几何,他们包括一个笛卡尔圆定理的球面和双曲空间。
英文摘要:
The Descartes circle theorem states that if four circles are mutually tangent with disjoint intersion, then their curvatures (or "bends) b_j = 1/r_j satisfy the relation (b_1 + b_2 + b_3 + b_4)^2 = 2(b_1^2 + b_2^2 + b_3^2 + b_4^2). We show that similar relations hold involving the centers of the circles in such a configuration, coordinatized as complex numbers, yielding a complex Descartes theorem. These relations have matrix generalizations to the n-dimensional case, in each of Euclidean, spherical and hyperbolic geometries, and they include a Descartes circle theorem for spherical and hyperbolic space.
