Russets, although you’ll probably never find them at your Kroger. Maybe they don’t store well, or have sufficient eye appeal, but they have never been mainstream like the industrial varieties shown and discussed in this thread. Grown in Ontario. seasonalontariofood.blogspot.com/2007/10/russet…

Nice! I’m surprised that the transformed circles still look like circles. Did you do anything special, or did it just work out that way?

The gradient used is the gradient of the angle ACB for two fixed points A and B. That's an unusual gradient, with a funky formula, but the circular trajectories follow from the fact that inscribed angles in a circle subtended by the same chord (AB here) are equal.

A gradient flow where the trajectories form orthogonal sets of coaxial circles. Some liberties taken in this visualization, because particles flow in both directions along flow lines and level sets. (short thread) pic.twitter.com/bz7eEInUwv

Projective geometry is endlessly fascinating. The six points of a complete quadrilateral (blue) are centrally projected to a conic. The images of opposite points define 3 lines (green) that are concurrent (as indicated by the red arrow). Based on an illustration

Restricted to the unit circle, hyperbolic transformations are equivalent to projective transformations, and can be expressed as 3x3 matrices. Thus all Pythagorean triples (viewed as vectors) can be generated by applying 3x3 matrices. This leads to en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_of_p….

... perhaps by Regge himself (a physicist who worked with simplicial approximations of spacetime). I think it was from the 1950/60's. Can't remember whether the formula was 3D or nD.

Can you email this 15 years back in time to me when I was struggling with this stuff? The 3d case is mentioned in Tu et al (2006 cse.wustl.edu/~taoju/researc… eqn 20). I remember seeing it in the physics literature going as far back as a typescript on Regge calculus ...

Just for fun, here's a "conformal neighborhood" of the curve. The small gap in the upper left is where |t|>100.
I'm impressed that you guys could come up with both implicit and parametric formulae for the curve. I didn't know the latter was even possible. pic.twitter.com/r0pH4tRMSL

Conformal mappings for the given pictures are normalized Jacobi sn, inverse stereoscopic, cos+i sin, and a frequency modulated version of cos+i sin. These were rendered in online Mathematica and have some artifacts.

To compute these neighborhoods, find a conformal mapping that takes a real interval (or the entire real axis) to the circle, and then map the image of a grid containing the domain. (This of course can be generalized with maps to any curve)

Conformal neighborhoods of circles and subcircles. I.e. square grids that follow the curve. Square size depends on arc speed of underlying parameterization. Grid on one side of the curve is Schwarz reflection of grid on the other side, which here is inversion in the circle.

On my list of 500 mathy things to do is to tesselate the flat version into a triangular mesh, glue the corresponding boundaries, and then try #DiscreteDifferentialGeometry curvature flow to get the final genus 3 surface, e.g. as in cs.cmu.edu/~kmcrane/Proje… by @keenanisalive et al.
