Isometries of the Hyperbolic Plane

نویسنده

  • ALBERT CHANG
چکیده

In this paper, I will explore basic properties of the group PSL(2,R). These include the relationship between isometries of H2, Möbius transformations, and matrix multiplication. In addition, this paper will explain a method of characterizing the aforementioned transformations by the trace of their matrices through looking at the number of xed points of a transformation.

Isometries of the Hyperbolic Plane

In this paper I will define the hyperbolic plane and describe and classify its isometries. I will conclude by showing how these isometries can be represented as 2× 2 matrices.

Hyperbolic Geometry: Isometry Groups of Hyperbolic Space

The goal of this paper is twofold. First, it consists of an introduction to the basic features of hyperbolic geometry, and the geometry of an important class of functions of the hyperbolic plane, isometries. Second, it identifies a group structure in the set of isometries, specifically those that preserve orientation, and deals with the topological properties of their discrete subgroups. In the...

Algebraic Characterization of the Isometries of the Complex and Quaternionic Hyperbolic Plane

in terms of their trace and determinant are foundational in the real hyperbolic geometry. The counterpart of this characterization for isometries of H C was given by Giraud [8] and Goldman [9]. In this paper we offer algebraic characterization for the isometries of H H. The methods we follow carry over to the complex hyperbolic space, and yields an alternative characterization of the isometries...

Iterated function systems with symmetry in the hyperbolic plane

Images are created using probabilistic iterated function systems that involve both affine transformations of the plane and isometries of hyperbolic geometry. Figures of attractors with striking hyperbolic symmetry are the result.

An application of geometrical isometries in non-planar molecules

In this paper we introduce a novel methodology to transmit the origin to the center of a polygon in a molecule structure such that the special axis be perpendicular to the plane containing the polygon. The mathematical calculation are described completely and the algorithm will be showed as a computer program.

The Modular Group A Finitely Generated Group with Interesting Subgroups

The action of Möbius transformations with real coefficients preserves the hyperbolic metric in the upper half-plane model of the hyperbolic plane. The modular group is an interesting group of hyperbolic isometries generated by two Möbius transformations, namely, an order-two element, g2 HzL = -1 ê z, and an element of infinite order, g• HzL = z + 1. Viewing the action of the group elements on a...
