MathlibAnnex.IsometryEquiv.map_center_of_reflectionInvariant

Identifies the distinguished centers of two bounded reflection-invariant subsets under an isometry equivalence.

Statement

Let f:s≃ᵢt be an isometry equivalence between subsets of real normed affine spaces. Suppose c∈s and d∈t, the source set s is bounded, and s and t are invariant under point reflection about c and d respectively. Then f(c)=d as subtype points.

Assumptions

Real normed affine spaces; source and target sets contain their centers and are invariant under reflection through those centers; the source is bounded; f is an isometry equivalence.

Conclusion

f maps the source reflection center to the target reflection center.

Proof route

Conjugate the target reflection about d by f to obtain a self-isometry g of s. Every self-isometry of the bounded source reflection space fixes c. Translating that fixed-point equation back through f shows that f(c) is fixed by reflection about d, hence equals d.

Proof steps
  1. Restrict target point reflection about d to an isometry equivalence of t.
  2. Conjugate this restricted reflection by f to form a self-isometry g of s.
  3. Apply the bounded reflection-center fixed-point lemma to g at c.
  4. Transport the resulting equality through f to show that restricted reflection fixes f(c).
  5. Forget the subtype and apply the characterization of fixed points of point reflection to conclude f(c)=d.
