Abstract

We study the geometry of a Euclidean triangle from a Mobius geometric point of view. It turns out that its in- and ex-centers can be constructed in a symmetric and Mobius invariant way. We relate this construction to Thurston's center of symmetry of an ideal tetrahedron in hyperbolic space and discuss some implications for the Euclidean triangle.
