Singular points of the Wigner caustic and affine equidistants of planar curves (Q2174203)

``The famous Blaschke-Süss theorem states that there are at least three pairs of antipodal pairs on an oval. A pair of points on an oval is an antipodal pair if the tangent lines are parallel at these points and curvatures are equal. The Wigner caustic is a locus of midpoints of chords connecting points on a curve with parallel tangent lines. The singular points of the Wigner caustic of an oval come exactly from the antipodal pairs.'' The authors study singular points of the Wigner caustic and affine equidistants of a planar curve. They prove theorems on the existence of singular points based on the shape of the curve. In particular, they find a generalization of the Blaschke-Süss theorem.
