A parabola P in the plane has the nice property that the image of P under any affine transformation is similar to P itself.
Which other subsets of the plane have this property?
I wondered aloud about this on Twitter, where Zeno Rogue gave some additional examples:
- The complement of a parabola;
- One connected component of the complement of a parabola;
- Any subset of a line;
- Any superset of the complement of a line;
- An open half-plane together with any subset of its boundary.
Are there other examples?
