Abstract

Each complete quadrilateral has three Miquel-Steiner points. Any triangle together with an arbitrarily chosen point not on a triangle side also defines a complete quadrilateral, and thus, this pivot point defines three Miquel-Steiner points. These three Miquel points form a triangle
which is perspective with the base triangle. The mapping that assigns to the pivot point the uniquely defined perspector is a quadratic and not involutive Cremona transformation and shall be called Miquel-Steiner transformation. We shall study the action of the Miquel-Steiner transformation and its inverse.

Keywords
