Let F be a subfield of the field ℝ of real numbers. Equipped with the binary arithmetic mean operation, each convex subset C of F n becomes a commutative binary mode, also called idempotent commutative medial (or entropic) groupoid. Let C and C ' be convex subsets of F n . Assume that they are of the same dimension and at least one of them is bounded, or F is the field of all rational numbers. We prove that the corresponding idempotent commutative medial groupoids are isomorphic iff the affine space F n over F has an automorphism that maps C onto C ' . We also prove a more general statement for the case when C , C ' ⊆ F n are barycentric algebras over a unital subring of F that is distinct from the ring of integers. A related result, for a subring of ℝ instead of a subfield F , is given in Czédli G., Romanowska A.B., Generalized convexity and closure conditions, Internat. J. Algebra Comput. 23 (2013), no. 8, 1805–1835.

AB - Let $F$ be a subfield of the field $\mathbb {R}$ of real numbers. Equipped with the binary arithmetic mean operation, each convex subset $C$ of $F^n$ becomes a commutative binary mode, also called idempotent commutative medial (or entropic) groupoid. Let $C$ and $C^{\prime }$ be convex subsets of $F^n$. Assume that they are of the same dimension and at least one of them is bounded, or $F$ is the field of all rational numbers. We prove that the corresponding idempotent commutative medial groupoids are isomorphic iff the affine space $F^n$ over $F$ has an automorphism that maps $C$ onto $C^{\prime }$. We also prove a more general statement for the case when $C,C^{\prime }\subseteq F^n$ are barycentric algebras over a unital subring of $F$ that is distinct from the ring of integers. A related result, for a subring of $\mathbb {R}$ instead of a subfield $F$, is given in Czédli G., Romanowska A.B., Generalized convexity and closure conditions, Internat. J.
