On Poncelet's maps
نویسندگان
چکیده
Given two ellipses, one surrounding the other one, Poncelet introduced a map P from the exterior one to itself by using the tangent lines to the interior ellipse. This procedure can be extended to any two smooth, nested and convex ovals and we call this type of maps Poncelet’s maps. We recall what he proved around 1814 in the dynamical systems language: In the two ellipses case and when the rotation number of P is rational there exists a n ∈ N such that Pn = Id, or in other words, the Poncelet’s map is conjugated to a rational rotation. In this paper we study general Poncelet’s maps and give several examples of algebraic ovals where the corresponding Poncelet’s map has a rational rotation number and it is not conjugated to a rotation. Finally, we also provide a new proof of Poncelet’s result based on dynamical tools. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: Primary: 51M15. Secondary: 37C05, 51M04.

A Simple Proof of Poncelet's Theorem (on the Occasion of Its Bicentennial)
Theorem 1.1 (Poncelet’s Theorem). Let K and C be nondegenerate conics in general position. Suppose there is an n-sided polygon inscribed in K and circumscribed about C such that none of its vertices belongs to C (in the case whenK and C intersect or meet). Further suppose there is an (n− 1)-sided polygonal chain with vertices on K such that all its sides are tangent to C and none of its vertice...
متن کاملOn strongly Jordan zero-product preserving maps
In this paper, we give a characterization of strongly Jordan zero-product preserving maps on normed algebras as a generalization of Jordan zero-product preserving maps. In this direction, we give some illustrative examples to show that the notions of strongly zero-product preserving maps and strongly Jordan zero-product preserving maps are completely different. Also, we prove that the direct p...
متن کاملOn topological transitive maps on operator algebras
We consider the transitive linear maps on the operator algebra $B(X)$for a separable Banach space $X$. We show if a bounded linear map is norm transitive on $B(X)$,then it must be hypercyclic with strong operator topology. Also we provide a SOT-transitivelinear map without being hypercyclic in the strong operator topology.
متن کاملOn the pointfree counterpart of the local definition of classical continuous maps
The familiar classical result that a continuous map from a space $X$ to a space $Y$ can be defined by giving continuous maps $varphi_U: U to Y$ on each member $U$ of an open cover ${mathfrak C}$ of $X$ such that $varphi_Umid U cap V = varphi_V mid U cap V$ for all $U,V in {mathfrak C}$ was recently shown to have an exact analogue in pointfree topology, and the same was done for the familiar cla...
