Abstract

We introduce the new notion of sydpoints into projective triangle geometry with respect to a general bilinear form. These are analogs of midpoints, and allow us to extend hyperbolic triangle geometry to non-classical triangles with points inside and outside of the null conic. Surprising analogs of circumcircles may be defined, involving the appearance of pairs of twin circles, yielding in general eight circles with interesting intersection properties.

Keywords
