Number of orbits for abelian group actions

Suppose $G$ is an abelian group acting faithfully on two sets, $X$ and $Y$, of the same size. None of $G$, $X$ and $Y$ is finite. Now suppose $G$ is the union of abelian groups $G_i$, where $i$ varies ...

Is a line associated with antipodal points (the fact, it is the generalization of Simson line) known?

First time, I found a line associated with antipodal points, detail: Let $ABC$ be a triangle, $(C)$ is circumconic of $ABC$. $P$ and $P'$ are two antipodal points. Construct three lines through $P'$ ...

A problem of four conics

I found a remarkable theorem of four conics as follows some years ago. But it has no proof; I am looking for a proof: Theorem: Take three conics. Suppose that each of them touch a fourth conic at two ...

Golden ratio as a property of conic section (is it known?)

I am looking for a proof of a discovery as follows: Let $ABC$ be arbitrary triangle and $(\Omega)$ be an arbitrary circumconic of $ABC$ let $A'B'C'$ is its tangential triangle of $ABC$ respect to $(\...

Thirteen-point conic and four-point line, are they new?

We know that Five points determine a conic and Two Points Determine a Line. Here I found a simple construct of a conic through $7$ points (in PS I note that how the conic through thirteen points) and ...

An ellipse through 12 points related to Golden ratio

I am looking for a proof of the problem as follows: Let $ABC$ be a triangle, let points $D$, $E$ be chosen on $BC$, points $F$, $G$ be chosen on $CA$, points $H$, $I$ be chosen on $AB$, such that $IF$,...

A new theorem (discovered in 2013) equivalent to Brianchon theorem (the old theorem) discovered in XIX century?

In 2013, I found a new problem as follows: Let six points $A_1$, $A_2$, ...$A_6$ lie on a circle $(O_1)$, and the six points $B_1$, $B_2$,...,$B_6$ lie on another circle $(O_2)$. If the quadruples $...

Hypothesis: An injection from polygons into $SO(2) \times S_n$

I have stumbled upon a possible representation of polygons by a concise description of their behaviour under rotation. I would like to know more about it and, obviously, if it is actually a bijection. ...

Does any real projective plane incidence theorem follow from axioms?

Is it known whether any projective geometry statement that holds true in the real projective plane (equivalently, can be deduced from Hilbert axioms) follows from the standard projective axiomatics? ...

First-order logic of projective planes over fields [closed]

Suppose $\mathbb{P}^2(k)$ is a projective plane defined/coordinatized over a commutative field $k$. Is the first-order logic of the plane completely determined by the first-order logic of $k$ ? (In ...

Will (general points + small number of arbitrary points) impose independent condtions on plane curves?

It is well known that imposing vanishing at general points of $\mathbb P^2$ gives independent conditions on curves of degree $d$. Also, it is known that a small number ($\le d+1$) points always impose ...
