  2. Hyperbolic orthogonality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbolic_orthogonality

    The vectors z 1 and z 2 in the complex number plane, and w 1 and w 2 in the hyperbolic number plane are said to be respectively Euclidean orthogonal or hyperbolic orthogonal if their respective inner products [bilinear forms] are zero. [3] The bilinear form may be computed as the real part of the complex product of one number with the conjugate ...

  3. 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 ...

  4. Hyperbolic geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbolic_geometry

    Therefore, in hyperbolic geometry the ratio of a circle's circumference to its radius is always strictly greater than , though it can be made arbitrarily close by selecting a small enough circle. If the Gaussian curvature of the plane is −1 then the geodesic curvature of a circle of radius r is: 1 tanh ⁡ ( r ) {\displaystyle {\frac {1 ...

  5. Hyperbolic functions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbolic_functions

    In mathematics, hyperbolic functions are analogues of the ordinary trigonometric functions, but defined using the hyperbola rather than the circle. Just as the points (cos t , sin t ) form a circle with a unit radius , the points (cosh t , sinh t ) form the right half of the unit hyperbola .

  6. Hypercycle (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypercycle_(geometry)

    In hyperbolic geometry, a hypercycle, hypercircle or equidistant curve is a curve whose points have the same orthogonal distance from a given straight line (its axis). Given a straight line L and a point P not on L , one can construct a hypercycle by taking all points Q on the same side of L as P , with perpendicular distance to L equal to that ...

  7. Poincaré metric - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poincaré_metric

    It is the natural metric commonly used in a variety of calculations in hyperbolic geometry or Riemann surfaces. There are three equivalent representations commonly used in two-dimensional hyperbolic geometry. One is the Poincaré half-plane model, defining a model of hyperbolic space on the upper half-plane.

  8. Orthogonal circles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthogonal_circles

    In geometry, two circles are said to be orthogonal if their respective tangent lines at the points of intersection are perpendicular (meet at a right angle). A straight line through a circle's center is orthogonal to it, and if straight lines are also considered as a kind of generalized circles , for instance in inversive geometry , then an ...

  9. Poincaré half-plane model - Wikipedia

    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 ...
