Radial expansion preserves hyperbolic convexity and radial contraction preserves spherical convexity

On a flat plane, convexity of a set is preserved by both radial expansion and contraction of the set about any point inside it. Using the Poincaré disk model of hyperbolic geometry, we prove that radial expansion of a hyperbolic convex set about a point inside it always preserves hyperbolic convexit...

Zusammenfassung:On a flat plane, convexity of a set is preserved by both radial expansion and contraction of the set about any point inside it. Using the Poincaré disk model of hyperbolic geometry, we prove that radial expansion of a hyperbolic convex set about a point inside it always preserves hyperbolic convexity. Using stereographic projection of a sphere, we prove that radial contraction of a spherical convex set about a point inside it, such that the initial set is contained in the closed hemisphere centred at that point, always preserves spherical convexity.
