Let C be a smooth, convex curve on either the sphere S 2 , the hyperbolic plane H 2 or the Euclidean plane E 2 , with the following property: there exists , and parameterizations x(t);y(t) of C such that for each t, the angle between the chord connecting x(t) to y(t) and C is at both ends. Assuming that C is not a circle, E. Gutkin completely charac- terized the angles for which such a curve exists in the Euclidean case. We study the infinitesimal version of this problem in the context of the other two constant curvature geometries, and in particular we provide a complete characterization of the angles for which there exists a non-trivial infinitesimal deformation of a circle through such curves with corresponding angle . We also consider a discrete version of this property for Euclidean polygons, and in this case we give a complete description of all non-trivial solutions.
