Let $N>3$, and consider the polar image of the Harmonic family, a Poncelet family of $N$-gons. For each polygon, let $\theta_i$ denote its relevant angles, so that the half-angle t…

Let $q_t$ and $r_t$ be the maps used to describe the two symmetry-related images of a triangle, and let a triangle be non-equilateral when it is not equilateral. Six-periodic isosc…

Let ${\mathcal S}_3$ be the space of unit-area triangles, let $f_t:{\mathcal S}_3\to{\mathcal S}_3$ be the triangle map, and let ${\mathcal A}$ be its area integral. Second-integra…

Let $f_t$ be the maps on planar polygon spaces and let $\xi$ be the vector field. The polygons evolving under these maps and under the flow of $\xi$ appear to move around invariant…

Let $n$ be odd, let ${\mathcal T}_n$ be the symplectic space of planar $n$-gons, let $f_t$ be the maps on this space, and let $\xi$ be the vector field. Let ${\mathcal A}$ denote t…

Let $\Omega_{2n}$ denote the set of axis-aligned $2n$-gons, meaning polygons whose sides are alternately horizontal and vertical, and let $T$ be the polygon evolution map. Global-a…

Let $\mathcal{Q}$ be a simple $n$-gon, meaning that it has no self-intersections, and consider the regions of points $M$ for which the circumcenter map produces area contraction. R…

Let $\mathcal{P}$ be a regular $n$-gon, with $n\geq 3$, and let $\mathcal{P}'=\mathcal{C}_M^n(\mathcal{P})$. Write $\alpha$ for the angle of rotation in the similarity taking…
