Conjecture on conserved half-angle tangents for polar Harmonic families
Let , and consider the polar image of the Harmonic family, a Poncelet family of -gons. For each polygon, let denote its relevant angles, so that the half-angle tangents are . Polar-Harmonic conservation conjecture. The sum of half-angle tangents is conserved for the polar image of the Harmonic family, for all . The statement extends the displayed triangle case to the higher- Harmonic family; the source gives no proof or resolution.
