Regular Tessellations of the Hyperbolic Plane by Fundamental Domains of a Fuchsian Group
نویسنده
چکیده
For positive integers p and q with 1/p+1/q < 1/2, a tessellation of type {p, q} is a tessellation of the hyperbolic plane by regular p-gons with q p-gons meeting at each vertex. In this paper, a necessary and sufficient condition on the integers p and q is established to determine when a tessellation of type {p, q} can be realized as a tessellation of the hyperbolic plane by fundamental domains of some Fuchsian group. Specifically, a tessellation of type {p, q} is a tessellation by fundamental domains if and only if q has a prime divisor less than or equal to p. 2000 Math. Subj. Class. 20H10.

Wiener, Szeged and vertex PI indices of regular tessellations
A lot of research and various techniques have been devoted for finding the topological descriptor Wiener index, but most of them deal with only particular cases. There exist three regular plane tessellations, composed of the same kind of regular polygons namely triangular, square, and hexagonal. Using edge congestion-sum problem, we devise a method to compute the Wiener index and demonstrate th...
متن کاملOn the arithmetic dimension of triangle groups
Let ∆ = ∆(a, b, c) be a hyperbolic triangle group, a Fuchsian group obtained from reflections in the sides of a triangle with angles π/a, π/b, π/c drawn on the hyperbolic plane. We define the arithmetic dimension of ∆ to be the number of split real places of the quaternion algebra generated by ∆ over its (totally real) invariant trace field. Takeuchi has determined explicitly all triples (a, b,...
متن کاملHyperbolic uniformizations through computations on ternary quadratic forms
Orders in indefinite quaternion algebras provide Fuchsian groups acting on the Poincare half-plane, used to construct the associated Shimura curves. We explain how, by using embedding theory, the elements of those Fuchsian groups depend on representations of integers by suitable ternary quadratic forms. Thus the explicit computation of those representations leads to explicit presentations and f...
متن کاملOn the behavior of growth of polygons in semi-regular hyperbolic tessellations
In this work we consider tessellations (or tilings) of the hyperbolic plane by copies of a semi-regular polygon with alternating angles and we study the behavior of the growth of the polygons, edges, and vertices when the distance increase from a fixed initial polygon.

The work of mathematical giants, such as Lobachevsky, Gauss, Riemann, Klein and Poincaré, to name a few, lies at the foundation of the study of the highly structured Riemann surfaces, which allow definition of holomorphic maps, corresponding to analytic maps in the theory of complex analysis. A topological result of Poincaré states that every path-connected Riemann surface can be realised by a ...
