  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. 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 ...

  4. Hyperbola - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbola

    This equation is called the canonical form of a hyperbola, because any hyperbola, regardless of its orientation relative to the Cartesian axes and regardless of the location of its center, can be transformed to this form by a change of variables, giving a hyperbola that is congruent to the original (see below).

  5. Unit hyperbola - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_hyperbola

    The unit hyperbola finds applications where the circle must be replaced with the hyperbola for purposes of analytic geometry. A prominent instance is the depiction of spacetime as a pseudo-Euclidean space. There the asymptotes of the unit hyperbola form a light cone.

  6. 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 ...

  7. 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 ...

  8. Beltrami–Klein model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beltrami–Klein_model

    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 ...

  9. Confocal conic sections - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confocal_conic_sections

    A circle is an ellipse with two coinciding foci. The limit of hyperbolas as the foci are brought together is degenerate: a pair of intersecting lines. If an orthogonal net of ellipses and hyperbolas is transformed by bringing the two foci together, the result is thus an orthogonal net of concentric circles and lines passing through the circle ...
