Sharygin triangles and elliptic curves

Igor V. Netay, Alexei V. Savvateev

National Research University Higher School of Economics, New Economic School

Abstract

The paper is devoted to the description of family of scalene triangles for which the triangle formed by the intersection points of bisectors with opposite sides is isosceles. We call them Sharygin triangles. It turns out that they are parametrized by an open subset of an elliptic curve. Also we prove that there are infinitely many non-similar integer Sharygin triangles.

Keywords: elliptic curve, Diophantine equation, plane geometry
