Midpoint preservation on a symmetric lens

MathlibAnnex.IsometryEquiv.map_midpoint_of_symmetricLens

Turns bounded reflection symmetry of equal-radius lenses into midpoint preservation.

Statement

Assume the midpoint of x,y belongs to symmetricLens(x,y,r), and likewise the midpoint of x′,y′ belongs to symmetricLens(x′,y′,r), as expressed by the two half-distance inequalities. Any isometry equivalence between these lenses maps midpoint(x,y) to midpoint(x′,y′).

Assumptions

Real normed vector spaces; an isometry equivalence between symmetric lenses of the same radius r; both half-distances between the respective foci are at most r.

Conclusion

The isometry maps the midpoint of the source foci to the midpoint of the target foci.

Proof route

A symmetric lens is bounded and invariant under point reflection about the midpoint of its foci. The center-transport theorem therefore sends the source midpoint to the target midpoint.

Proof steps
  1. Use the half-distance inequalities to place both midpoints in their respective lenses.
  2. Bound the source lens by one of its defining closed balls.
  3. Use reflection invariance of each lens about the corresponding midpoint.
  4. Apply center transport to the lens isometry and erase the subtype wrapper.
