Two polygons, (P1, . . . , Pn) and (Q1, . . . , Qn) in R 2 are c-related if det(Pi, Pi+1) = det(Qi, Qi+1) and det(Pi, Qi) = c for all i. This relation extends to twisted polygons (polygons with monodromy), and it descends to the moduli space of SL(2, R 2 )-equivalent polygons. This relation is an equiaffine analog of the discrete bicycle correspondence studied by a number of authors. We study the geometry of this relations, present its integrals, and show that, in an appropriate sense, these relations, considered for different values of the constants c, commute. We relate this topic with the dressing chain of Veselov and Shabat. The case of small-gons is investigated in detail.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
