The circumcircle of a nondegenerate triangle is the unique circle through its three vertices. Its center is the circumcenter, found by intersecting two perpendicular bisectors; equality of distances to all three vertices proves existence, and subtracting the squared-distance equations proves uniqueness. For a right triangle, the midpoint of its hypotenuse is equidistant from all vertices, so its circumradius is half the hypotenuse length.

Put $q=|z{|}^2$ and retain the domain restriction $z\ne 0$. Then $z+1/\bar{z}=(q+1)/\bar{z}$, so the continued fraction simplifies toThe other denominators are nonzero automatically because $q+1,q+2>0$. Writing $z=x+iy$, the real-part condition becomesMultiplying by $q(q+2)$ and rearranging gives $q+4x+2=0$. Thus the first geometric locus in the complex plane is the circleIts center is $-2$ and radius is $\sqrt{2}$; it does not contain the excluded point $z=0$ on its circumference.

The principal complex logarithm has imaginary part equal to the complex argument, so its equation gives the open rayIf one interprets the logarithm as multivalued, requiring a value with imaginary part $\pi /3$ gives the same ray. Expanding $z^2$ in the other equation gives $2ixy=2ix$, hence $x(y-1)=0$. Its solution is the union of the entire imaginary axis and the horizontal line $y=1$.

These latter loci bound a right triangle with verticesThe bounded open region is $0<x<1/\sqrt{3}$, $\sqrt{3}x<y<1$. Its closure is the closed triangle. Although the logarithm is undefined at $O$, the imaginary-axis locus includes that vertex. The earlier circle is a separate locus and is not a side of this triangle.

The right angle is at $P$, so the circumcenter is the midpoint of hypotenuse $OQ$:Thus its circumcircle has the complex equationTo find the incircle, let its radius be $r$. Tangency to $x=0$ and $y=1$ puts its center at $z_i=r+i(1-r)$. The distance from that point to $y-\sqrt{3}x=0$ is $(1-r-\sqrt{3}r)/2$. Requiring this distance to be $r$ givesThereforeThis tangent circle is indeed the largest contained circle. For any contained disk of radius $\rho$, its center has distances $d_j\ge \rho$ from the three side lines. Splitting the triangle into triangles with that center as vertex gives area $\Delta =\frac{1}{2}{\sum }_j{\ell }_j{d}_j\ge s\rho$, where $s$ is its semiperimeter. Here $\Delta =1/(2\sqrt{3})$ and $s=(1+\sqrt{3})/2$, so $\rho \le \Delta /s=r$. Our circle attains this upper bound, proving maximality rather than just tangency.
