A projective characterization of cyclicityWladimir G. Boskoff and Bogdan D. SuceavaDepartment of Mathematics and Computer Science, University Ovidius Constanta, Romania, e-mail: boskoff@univ-ovidius.ro, Department of Mathematics, California State University at Fullerton, Fullerton, CA, 92834--6850, U.S.A., e-mail: bsuceava@fullerton.eduAbstract: In this note we obtain a new cyclicity criterion for four points in the Euclidean plane, by using algebraic and geometric structures induced in $\mathbb{C}^2$ by the two dimensional complex projective space. We show that if four points lie on a circle in the real plane, then the type-one isotropic lines intersect $z_2$-axis in four points of real cross ratio.
