Pascal's Theorem, Characteristic Ratio, Carnot's Theorem, Pascal Mapping, Max Noether's Fundamental Theorem.

Resum

Pascal's classical theorem asserts that if a hexagon in P2(C) is inscribed in a conic, then the opposite sides of the hexagon lie on a straight line, called Pascal line. Zhongxuan Luo gave in 2007 a generalization of Pascal's theorem for curves of arbitrary degree. In the present article, two proofs of this generalization are given. The first one is self-contained and makes use of Carnot's theorem, while the second proof is based on Max Noether's Fundamental theorem.

Keywords: Pascal's Theorem, Characteristic Ratio, Carnot's Theorem, Pascal Mapping, Max Noether's Fundamental Theorem.
