Abstract

The Riemannian submersion π:SO0(1,n)Hn \pi : \text{SO}_0(1,n) \to \mathbb{H}^n is a principal bundle and its fiber at π(e) \pi (e) is the imbedding of SO(n)\text{SO}(n) into SO0(1,n) \text{SO}_0(1,n) , where ee is the identity of both SO0(1,n)\text{SO}_0(1,n) and SO(n)\text{SO}(n). In this study, we associate a curve, starting from the identity, in SO(n)\text{SO}(n) to a given surface with boundary, diffeomorphic to the closed disk D2D^2, in Hn \mathbb{H}^n such that the starting point and the ending point of the curve agree with those of the horizontal lifting of the boundary curve of the given surface with boundary, respectively, and that the length of the curve is as same as the area of the given surface with boundary.
