Keplerian trigonometry
AbstractTaking the hint from usual parametrization of circle and hyperbola, and inspired by the pathwork initiated by Cayley and Dixon for the parametrization of the “Fermat” elliptic curve $$x^3+y^3=1$$ x 3 + y 3 = 1 , we develop an axiomatic study of what we call “Keplerian maps”, that is, functions $${{\,\mathrm{{\mathbf {m}}}\,}}(\kappa )$$ m ( κ ) mapping a real interval to a planar curve, whose variable $$\kappa $$ κ measures twice the signed area swept out by the O-ray when moving from 0 to $$\kappa $$ κ . Then, given a characterization of k-curves, the images of such maps, we show how to recover the k-map of a given parametric or algebraic k-curve, by means of suitable differential problems.
