Abstract: This paper studies the discrete differential geometry of the checkerboard pattern inscribed in a quadrilateral net by connecting edge midpoints. It turns out to be a versatile tool which allows us to consistently define principal nets, Koenigs nets and eventually isothermic nets as a combination of both. Principal nets are based on the notions of orthogonality and conjugacy and can be identified with sphere congruences that are entities of Möbius geometry. Discrete Koenigs nets are defined via the existence of the so-called conic of Koenigs. We find several interesting properties of Koenigs nets, including their being dualizable and having equal Laplace invariants. Isothermic nets can be defined as Koenigs nets that are also principal nets. We prove that the class of isothermic nets is invariant under both dualization and Möbius transformations. Among other things, this allows a natural construction of discrete minimal surfaces and their Goursat transformations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
