  2. Hyperbolic space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbolic_space

    The quotient space H 2 ‍ / ‍ Γ of the upper half-plane modulo the fundamental group is known as the Fuchsian model of the hyperbolic surface. The Poincaré half plane is also hyperbolic, but is simply connected and noncompact .

  3. Hyperboloid model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperboloid_model

    In geometry, the hyperboloid model, also known as the Minkowski model after Hermann Minkowski, is a model of n-dimensional hyperbolic geometry in which points are represented by points on the forward sheet S + of a two-sheeted hyperboloid in (n+1)-dimensional Minkowski space or by the displacement vectors from the origin to those points, and m ...

  4. Hyperbolic geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbolic_geometry

    Timelike lines (i.e., those with positive-norm tangents) through the origin pass through antipodal points in the hyperboloid, so the space of such lines yields a model of hyperbolic n-space. The stabilizer of any particular line is isomorphic to the product of the orthogonal groups O( n ) and O(1), where O( n ) acts on the tangent space of a ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poincaré_half-plane_model

    The metric of the model on the half-plane, { , >}, is: = + ()where s measures the length along a (possibly curved) line. The straight lines in the hyperbolic plane (geodesics for this metric tensor, i.e., curves which minimize the distance) are represented in this model by circular arcs perpendicular to the x-axis (half-circles whose centers are on the x-axis) and straight vertical rays ...

  6. Horosphere - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horosphere

    A horosphere within the Poincaré disk model tangent to the edges of a hexagonal tiling cell of a hexagonal tiling honeycomb Apollonian sphere packing can be seen as showing horospheres that are tangent to an outer sphere of a Poincaré disk model. In hyperbolic geometry, a horosphere (or parasphere) is a specific hypersurface in hyperbolic n ...

  7. Poincaré disk model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poincaré_disk_model

    Poincaré disk with hyperbolic parallel lines Poincaré disk model of the truncated triheptagonal tiling.. In geometry, the Poincaré disk model, also called the conformal disk model, is a model of 2-dimensional hyperbolic geometry in which all points are inside the unit disk, and straight lines are either circular arcs contained within the disk that are orthogonal to the unit circle or ...

  8. Complex hyperbolic space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complex_hyperbolic_space

    In mathematics, hyperbolic complex space is a Hermitian manifold which is the equivalent of the real hyperbolic space in the context of complex manifolds. The complex hyperbolic space is a Kähler manifold , and it is characterised by being the only simply connected Kähler manifold whose holomorphic sectional curvature is constant equal to -1.

  9. Beltrami–Klein model - Wikipedia

    Many hyperbolic lines through point P not intersecting line a in the Beltrami Klein model A hyperbolic triheptagonal tiling in a Beltrami–Klein model projection. In geometry, the Beltrami–Klein model, also called the projective model, Klein disk model, and the Cayley–Klein model, is a model of hyperbolic geometry in which points are represented by the points in the interior of the unit ...
