Abstract

A curvilinear three-web formed by three pencils of circles is called a circle web. Generally speaking, the circle three-web is not regular, i.e., it is not locally diffeomorphic to a web formed by three families of parallel straight lines. In this paper, all regular circle three-webs are classified up to circular transformations. The main result is as follows: There exist 48 nonequivalent (with respect to circular transformations) types of regular three-webs. Five of them contain ∞3 nonequivalent webs each, 11 types contain ∞2 nonequivalent webs each, and 12 types contain ∞1 nonequivalent webs each; 5 webs admit a one-parameter group of automorphisms.
