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](https://twitter.com/robinhouston/status/1322491495627268097?s=20), where Zeno Rogue gave some additional examples: * The complement of a parabola; * One connected component of the complement of a parabola; There are also “degenerate” examples that in some sense vary in only one dimension: * Any subset of a line; * Any superset of the complement of a line; * An open half-plane together with any subset of its boundary; * The product of a line with any subset of a line. Are there other examples? I’m especially interested in examples that don’t fall into the degenerate category. --- **Added:** In the comments, YCor asks which subgroup of $\mbox{Aff}(\mathbb{R}^2)$ preserves the graph of $y=x^2$. If my calculations are correct, this group consists of the transformations of the form $$t(s, t) := \left(\begin{array}{cc|c}s & 0 & t \\ 2st & s^2 & t^2\end{array}\right)$$ for $s\neq 0$. Note that $t(s,t).t(s',t') = t(ss', t + st')$.
