Abstract: On an elliptic billard, we study a complex reflexion law introduced by A. Glutsyuk in order to state that the locus of the circumcenters of triangular orbits is an ellipse.

Review text

The author studies elliptic-type billiards. In particular, he proves that the locus of circumcenters of all triangular orbits is an ellipse. To arrive at this result, the author uses refined methods in synthetic geometry such as complexified conics and reflection laws.
