Conformal Parametrisation of Loxodromes by Triples of Circles

Abstract: We provide a parametrisation of a loxodrome by three specially arranged cycles. The parametrisation is covariant under fractional linear transformations of the complex plane and naturally encodes conformal properties of loxodromes. Selected geometrical examples illustrate the usage of parametrisation. Our work extends the set of objects in Lie sphere geometry-circle, lines and points-to the natural maximal conformally-invariant family, which also includes loxodromes.

“…The package accumulates more than 15 years of work and is still under active development. The design of the library figure shaped the general theoretical approach to the extension of Möbius-Lie geometry [2,3], which leaded to specific realisations in [33,34,35]. Furthermore, it shall be helpful for computer experiments in Lie sphere geometry of indefinite or nilpotent metrics since our intuition is not elaborated there in contrast to the Euclidean space [22,26,36].…”

“…FSCc is useful in consideration of the Poincaré extension of Möbius maps [52], loxodromes [54] and continued fractions [51]. In theoretical physics FSCc nicely describes conformal compactifications of various space-time models [32; 42; 46 [14,Ch.…”

“…It was shown recently that ensembles of cycles with certain FLT-invariant relations provide helpful parametrisations of new objects, e.g. points of the Poincaré extended space [52], loxodromes [54] or continued fractions [13,51], see Example 5.1 below for further details. Thus, we propose to extend Möbius-Lie geometry and consider ensembles of cycles as its new objects, cf.…”
