Analogues of the nine-point circle for orthocentric \(n\)-simplexes (Q1775235)

In this paper higher-dimensional analogues to some well-known theorems on triangles in the Euclidean plane are derived, also showing the phenomenon that often not the general, but the orthocentric \(n\)-simplices (whose altitudes have a point in common, called the orthocenter of the simplex) allow such extensions. First some results on the orthocenter, centroid and circumcenter of an orthocentric \(n\)-simplex \(S\) are obtained, these points lying on the Euler line of \(S\). Then, in the second part of the paper, spheres naturally related to \(S\) are investigated, yielding results which are analogous to those about nine-point circles of triangles. Also regular \(n\)-simplices as special orthocentric ones are taken into consideration.
