Given a plane triangle $Delta$, one can construct a new triangle $Delta$ whose vertices are intersections of two cevian triples of $Delta$. We extend the family of operators $DeltamapstoDelta$ by complexifying the defining two cevian parameters and study its rich structure from arithmetic-geometric viewpoints. We also find another useful parametrization of the operator family via finite Fourier analysis and apply it to investigate area-preserving operators on triangles.
